  • Publication number: 20240095693
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media configured to facilitate execution of transactions via a money transfer network are disclosed. During execution of the transactions, tokenized identity information may be utilized when exchanging transaction data between geographically distributed nodes of the money transfer network and the transactions are recorded to a distributed ledger maintained by the nodes. Smart contracts may be utilized to digitally sign transactions at various stages of transaction processing, such as at different stages of regulatory compliance validation and to authenticate the validity of the requested transaction (e.g., prevent double-spends). Utilizing tokenized identity information may reduce the likelihood that personally identifiable information (PII data) is obtained by or inadvertently provided to unauthorized third parties or systems.

  • Patent number: 11030315
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer readable storage medium for managing applications on a secure element. A request to modify the availability state of a version of a service, the availability state of the service being stored in a memory, is received. The availability state of the version of the service stored in the memory is modified in accordance with the request. More specifically, the availability state is modified to: (i) unavailable in a case where the request includes an instruction to disable the version of the service, and (ii) available in a case where the request includes an instruction to enable the version of the service. The service is associated with a secure element profile.

  • Publication number: 20150310432
    Abstract: A method for securely adding financial accounts maintained by an issuer without an issuer-specific TSM to a secure element using a service system that creates a secure TSM add-on module for the issuer within the service system TSM, and a sub-domain that is specific to the issuer within the secure element. The issuer designates instructions and commands as insecure information and sensitive financial information as secure information, and communicates each type of information via a designated interface that is designed to correspond to the required security of the type of information. The issuer transmits insecure instructions to the service system and in turn a digital wallet application to create a new account record in the application. The issuer encrypts the secure financial information and transmits it to the issuer domain of the secure element through the account services system TSM over a dedicated interface.

  • Publication number: 20150262164
    Abstract: System, methods, and computer program products are provided for interfacing with and providing a cloud-based secure storage. A payment system and procedure optionally stores security-critical information in a cloud-based secure store. Personalization data on the cloud-based secure store may be comprehensively managed by interfacing with a contactless front end (CLF) module in a near field communication (NFC) device and an interceptor. Non-security-critical information remains on the device. The processing time required to manage a payment transaction using Host-based Card Emulation (HCE) is minimized. User experience is improved.

  • Patent number: 6609037
    Abstract: A hybrid stabilization system for isolating a pointing vector of a gimbal from the motion of a vehicle base is provided. The hybrid stabilization control system includes a rate feedback loop generating a rate feedback compensation value in response to a measured rate difference between a pointing vector rate of motion and a vehicle base rate of motion, a rate feedforward loop generating a rate feedforward compensation value in response to a measured inertial vehicle base rate of motion, a position feedback loop generating a position feedback compensation value in response to a measured position difference between a pointing vector angular position and a vehicle base angular position, a position feedforward loop generating a position feedforward compensation value in response to a measured inertial vehicle base angular position.
