  • Publication number: 20190303942
    Abstract: Systems and methods for fraud management using a distributed database are disclosed. The system may receive a payment request and generate a payment request hash by cryptographically processing the payment request using a hashing algorithm. The system may invoke a fraud reporting smart contract by passing the payment request hash and a public blockchain address to the fraud reporting smart contract. The system may query a local blockchain database to locate a fraud report matching the payment request hash to determine whether the payment request has been previously reported as fraud. In response to the payment request hash not matching the fraud report, the fraud reporting smart contract is configured to write the payment request hash to the blockchain as a second fraud report.

  • Publication number: 20190164157
    Abstract: Systems and methods for transaction authorizations using a distributed database are disclosed. The system may allow registered transaction account holders and merchants to interact and complete transactions according to workflows enforced by smart contracts. The system may include an issuer system that receives a transaction authorization request comprising a merchant ID, a transaction account number, a transaction amount, and a transaction ID. The issuer system may retrieve a merchant public key and a smart contract based on the merchant ID, and a user public key based on the transaction account number. The issuer system may invoke the smart contract by passing the user public key and the transaction ID to the smart contract. The system may propagate transaction data (e.g., the merchant ID, the transaction account number, the payment amount, a transaction status, etc.) to a blockchain network for writing to a blockchain according to the invoked smart contract.

  • Publication number: 20190163896
    Abstract: A single sign-on system using blockchain is disclosed. The single sign-on system may interconnect various organization systems over a peer-to-peer network, with each organization system having a blockchain node and an application programming interface (API). The blockchain node invokes and uses a smart contract to write registration credentials to the blockchain during a registration process. During a login process, the blockchain node invokes the smart contract to determine whether login credentials match stored login credentials in the blockchain. In response to matching login credentials, the API may generate a single sign-on token that can be used by a user device to access one or more organization systems connected over the network.

  • Publication number: 20170357964
    Abstract: The systems may include receiving a token request for a transaction from a merchant, the token request comprising a consumer identifier associated with a consumer and a merchant identifier (MID) associated with the merchant, matching the MID with a token requestor identifier (TRID) assigned to the merchant, matching the consumer identifier with an account identifier associated with a transaction account of the consumer, generating a digital token comprising the TRID and the account identifier, and transmitting the digital token to the merchant.

  • Publication number: 20170300897
    Abstract: The systems may include transmitting wallet provider script to a payment service provider server, presenting an electronic wallet payment tool on a merchant checkout page, receiving a first selection of the electronic wallet payment tool, retrieving an electronic wallet comprised in a transaction account associated with the consumer, transmitting transaction account information associated with a desired transaction account in the electronic wallet to the payment service provider server, receiving a virtual token from the payment service provider server, and/or transmitting the virtual token to payment service provider script integrated in a browser used by the consumer.

  • Publication number: 20160048442
    Abstract: The system integrates transaction account issuers, merchants, and consumers. A transaction account issuer may provide one or more APIs to merchants. The transaction account issuer may provide a sandbox environment for merchants to test applications with the APIs. The transaction account issuer may provide documentation to assist the merchants in integrating with the transaction account issuer. The transaction account issuer may notify the merchants of any changes to the documentation.
