Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A merchant conducting a transaction on an account forms transaction data with a sensitive data field. To obscure the account prior to transmitting information about the transaction, for each character in the sensitive data field, a combined character is formed with a character of a generated pad. A replacement character is formed by a modulus operation on the combined character and is stored in the corresponding position in the sensitive data field. A transmission containing the sensitive data field with replacement characters is delivered to the merchant's acquirer.

Abstract: A merchant conducting a transaction on an account forms transaction data with a sensitive data field. To obscure the account prior to transmitting information about the transaction, for each character in the sensitive data field, a combined character is formed with a character of a generated pad. A replacement character is formed by a modulus operation on the combined character and is stored in the corresponding position in the sensitive data field. A transmission containing the sensitive data field with replacement characters is delivered to the merchant's acquirer. Subsequently, a first transmission is received for another transaction from a merchant that contains transaction data upon an account and a sensitive data field. Using the sensitive data field, an attempt is made to retrieve a transaction data record that contains data from a previous transaction that includes the account upon which the previous transaction was conducted.

Abstract: Data entry apparatus comprising a display screen device, a touch pad mounted over the display screen device, and an application processor coupled to the touch pad and to the display screen device. The application processor has an application program processing module and a touch pad controller module. The application program processing module displays on the display screen a predefined data entry screen having a prearranged set of functional components and sends to the touch pad controller module a hot spot command defining a plurality of touch pad hot spots corresponding in area and location to the set of functional components. The touch pad controller module senses a touch event on the touch pad corresponding to one of the touch pad hot spots and sends to the application processor a touch event message identifying the touch pad hot spot corresponding to the touch event.

Abstract: A method for operating a combination touch pad and display screen device as a PINpad for entering a A plurality of numerical keypad layouts for the display screen are defined. Each keypad layout has a unique arrangement of decimal number locations differing from one layout to all others. For each PIN entry event a random one of the numerical keypad layouts is selected and displayed on the display screen.
