Publication number: 20190122212Abstract: A method and system for provisioning payment credentials usable by a mobile device in conducting a payment. The method is conducted at a provisioning system and comprises the steps of: receiving payment credentials from a receiving device, the payment credentials having been obtained from a portable payment device presented by a consumer at the receiving device; receiving, from the receiving device, an identifier entered by the consumer; identifying a mobile device or a secure element corresponding to the identifier; and communicating the payment credentials or a derivation of the payment credentials to the identified mobile device or the secure element to be securely stored in association with the mobile device. The method may include: encrypting the received payment credentials, the encrypted payment credentials having a unique decryption key; and wherein communicating a derivation of the payment credentials communicates the unique decryption key.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2018Publication date: April 25, 2019Inventors: Horatio Huxham, Alan Joseph O'Regan, Tara Anne Moss, Hough Arie Van Wyk, John F.

Patent number: 9860749Abstract: Systems and methods for verification conducted at a secure element are disclosed. In a method of verification conducted at a secure element interacting with a mobile device, the secure element receives at least one of an identifier of a universal integrated circuit card (UICC) and an identifier of the mobile device. The secure element then compares each of the received at least one identifiers against a registered identifier of corresponding form stored in a non-volatile memory of the secure element. If the received at least one identifiers match corresponding registered identifiers stored in the non-volatile memory, the secure element permits further interaction with the mobile device. If at least one of the received identifiers do not match corresponding registered identifiers stored in the non-volatile memory, the secure element denies further interaction with the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2014Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: VISA INTERNATIONAL SERVICE ASSOCIATIONInventors: Horatio Nelson Huxham, Alan Joseph O'Regan, Tara Anne Moss, Hough Arie Van Wyk

Publication number: 20170169435Abstract: Systems and methods for authorizing a transaction are disclosed. In a method a remotely accessible server receives biometric data from a communication device. The biometric data is gathered directly by the communication device from an individual at a merchant's premises. The server receives environmental data unique to the merchant and having been obtained at the merchant's premises. The server identifies a stored individual's profile associated with a biometric data record substantially matching the received biometric data and verifies the received environmental data against stored environmental data. If a stored individual's profile is identified and the environmental data is verified, the server authorizes the transaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2015Publication date: June 15, 2017Applicant: Via International Service AssociationInventors: Alan Joseph O'Regan, Horatio Nelson Huxham, Hough Arie Van Wyk, Tara Anne Moss

Publication number: 20160132880Abstract: Rules relating to the authorization of contactless payment transactions may be stored on a mobile device. After provision of contactless payment credentials to a merchant, the mobile device receives a query relating to the authorization of the transaction. The transaction details contained in the query are compared to the rules stored on the mobile device. Depending on the relevant rule applicable, the transaction may either be approved or rejected automatically, or may require user authorization. Depending on input received from the user in response to a prompt therefore, the transaction will be authorized or rejected.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2014Publication date: May 12, 2016Inventors: Alan Joseph O'Regan, Horatio Nelson Huxham, Tara Anne Moss, Hough Arie Van Wyk

Publication number: 20150227932Abstract: A system and method of issuing payment credentials to a consumer is disclosed. A payment processing network sends payment credentials and an identifier of a consumer to whom the payment credentials belong to a secure gateway. The secure gateway encrypts or zone translates the payment credentials and sends them to a mobile device of the consumer through a secure communication channel. The mobile device includes a hardware security module (HSM) which stores the payment credentials to be used for subsequent financial transactions by the consumer. Multiple sets of payment credentials may be stored on the HSM, corresponding to multiple payment accounts belonging to the consumer.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2013Publication date: August 13, 2015Inventors: Horatio Nelson Huxham, Alan Joseph O'Regan, Hough Arie Van Wyk, Tara Anne Moss
