Abstract: A method and intrusion manager (200) for handling intrusion to an electronic equipment (202). When a sensor (204) detects (2:2) an intrusion to the electronic equipment, an intrusion entry indicating the detected intrusion is stored (2:3), and an associated sign-off message which identifies the stored intrusion entry is also stored (2:5). The sign-off message comprises a signature that validates the detected intrusion, which signature may be received (2:4) as input from an authorised person. Thereby, any stored intrusion entry can be checked by searching for an associated sign-off message, and a stored intrusion entry having no matching sign-off message with a valid signature can be determined to be unauthorised.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for conducting a payment card system payment transaction initiated from a customer's mobile device. In an embodiment, the customer's mobile device processor receives transaction information from a payment services provider computer, and generates a request for a payment transaction including a customer identification code that identifies the customer's payment card account, the transaction amount, and instructions to transfer funds from the payment card account to a merchant payment card account. The method includes transmitting the payment transaction request to the payment services provider computer, receiving a challenge to provide at least one item of security information, transmitting the security information to the payment services provider, and then receiving a confirmation message indicating execution of the payment transaction.

Abstract: A method includes receiving transaction information at a mobile device from a merchant device. The transaction information includes a transaction amount and merchant information that identifies a merchant that operates the merchant device. The method further includes generating a funds transfer request in the mobile device. The funds transfer request includes the merchant information, information that indicates the transaction amount and information that identifies a customer of the merchant. The funds transfer request is for requesting that funds be transferred from a payment card account that belongs to the customer to a payment card account that belongs to the merchant. The method also includes transmitting, from the mobile device, the funds transfer request, to a financial institution that issued the customer's payment card account.
