Publication number: 20230123023Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for integrating a mobile payment application with other mobile applications while preventing security exposures. A set of application programming interfaces of mobile applications that may possibly be utilized by a pass created by a mobile payment application is generated in response to receiving an indication that the pass was created. A “pass,” as used herein, refers to a form of mobile payment, such as a gift card. A selection of these application programming interfaces may then be received to interact with the created pass. In this manner, the existing mobile applications are seamlessly integrated with the features of passes. Furthermore, a virtual container is created for the created pass and the selected application programming interfaces to interface with the created pass. By creating such a container, the data to be exposed to the application layer can be controlled.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2022Publication date: April 20, 2023Inventors: Todd E. Kaplinger, Gal Shachor, Gregory L. Truty

Patent number: 10277409Abstract: Examples of techniques for authenticating mobile applications are described herein. A method includes receiving, via a first server, a key pair and a policy file associated with a mobile service from a second server. Authentication of the mobile application is performed based on the key pair and the policy file. A scope token is generated with an application scope in response to authenticating the mobile application. Authentication of a client device is performed corresponding to the mobile application and a user to generate a doubly-authenticated scope token including a device scope and application authenticity scope. The doubly-authenticated scope token is sent to a security gateway for user authentication. A trebly-authenticated scope token is received with a grant token request and a grant token is sent to the mobile application. The grant token is received from the mobile application. An access token is generated and sent to the mobile application.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2017Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Ishai Borovoy, Iddo Levin, Haim Schneider, Gal Shachor, Artem Spector

Patent number: 10085150Abstract: Examples of techniques for authenticating mobile applications are described herein. A method can include receiving, by a processor, a key pair and a policy file associated with a mobile service. The processor can receive a service request from a mobile application at a security gateway. The processor can detect that the service request includes an invalid or missing access token. The processor can redirect the mobile application to request a grant token from an authorization end point on a server. The processor can receive a grant token request from the mobile application and forward the grant token request to the server based on a policy file, the policy file including a list of: a plurality of security objects to be authenticated, a plurality of computing devices to authenticate the security objects, and an order of authentication.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2017Date of Patent: September 25, 2018Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Ishai Borovoy, Iddo Levin, Haim Schneider, Gal Shachor, Artem Spector
