Abstract: A restriction request message, including a restriction parameter for a secondary account, is received from a device that is associated with a primary account, via a network node that is outside of a secure authorization network. A replenishment request message, including a password and an account replenishment parameter for the secondary account, is also received via a network node that is outside of the authorization network. Authentication is performed based on the password, and the restriction parameter for the secondary account is identified responsive to receiving the replenishment request message. Responsive to determining that the account replenishment parameter satisfies the restriction parameter, a replacement key is generated and associated with the account replenishment parameter for the secondary account.

Abstract: A method for preventing mobile payment is described. The method comprises generating an authorization request, via a payment module, based on sensitive data on a mobile device. The authorization request is transmitted from the payment module to an issuer system. The issuer system sends a neutralization trigger. In response to receiving the neutralization trigger, the payment module is disabled.

Abstract: Methods of de-tokenizing secure payment tokens are disclosed. A method according to some embodiments includes receiving a request from an issuer to de-tokenize a secure payment token associated with a transaction conducted using a mobile terminal, generating a metric indicative of a risk of de-tokenizing the secure payment token, comparing the metric indicative of the risk of de-tokenizing the secure payment token to a predetermined threshold, and transmitting a response to the request to de-tokenize the secure payment token, wherein the response is based on the comparison of the metric indicative of the risk of de-tokenizing the secure payment token with the predetermined threshold.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a system and method for dynamically managing load on network devices in a distributed manner. As the proliferation of data rich content and increasingly more capable mobile devices has continued, the amount of data communicated over mobile operator's networks has exponentially increased. Upgrading the existing network to accommodate increased data traffic is neither desirable nor practical. One way to accommodate increased data traffic is by utilizing network resources more efficiently. This disclosure provides systems and methods for efficiently utilizing network resources by dynamically configuring the network in a distributed manner based on real-time load information.
