  • Publication number: 20200019961
    Abstract: Systems and methods for transactions using remote EMV payment applications are disclosed. The system may enable EMV transactions to be completed using EMV payment applications stored in a remote server. The remote EMV payment application may directly communicate EMV transaction data to the issuer system to complete transactions. The system may receive a transaction request comprising a payment token and an EMV payment application uniform resource identifier (“URI”). The system may invoke from a payment application server a remote EMV payment application based on the EMV payment application URI, wherein in response to being invoked, the remote EMV payment application is configured to interact with a merchant system kernel to process the transaction request, and wherein in response to processing the transaction request the remote EMV payment application is configured to transmit a transaction authorization request comprising EMV transaction data directly to the issuer system.

  • Patent number: 10534782
    Abstract: A system and method may allow for improved accuracy for name matching. The system may receive a name input and preprocess the name input. The name input may be tokenized to create a name token. The name token may be compared to a stored name. The system may calculate a first name matching score based on the comparison. The system may permute the name token to form a second level permutation name, compare the second level permutation name with the stored name, and calculate a second name matching score based on the comparison. The first name matching score may be compared with the second name matching score to improve accuracy in name matching.

  • Patent number: 10535050
    Abstract: Transaction account holders are able to attach additional data to a transaction in concert with the transaction being initiated, prior to the merchant posting the transaction. Transaction account holders do not have to wait and/or opt for an external service provider to assist with the compiling and/or attaching of data at a later point in time (e.g., after the merchant posts the transaction). Transaction account holders may upload and access electronic receipts associated with a transaction authorization almost immediately after the sale and/or authorization of the transaction.

  • Publication number: 20190392164
    Abstract: A system and method of data protection that provides the security of field level data protection with the ease of implementation and transparency of system level data protection at various layers is disclosed. The system utilizes blockchain technology to implement improved data protection. A smart contract application is deployed among all devices covered by the data protection system. Ledgers are similarly deployed either on each device or on dedicated ledger nodes to provide a record of all transactions occurring with the protected data. As a device writes data to a storage medium or initiates transmission of the data over a communication medium, the smart contract intercepts the data and applies a desired protection protocol to the data. As a result, enterprise wide security may be deployed that provides field level encryption without requiring modifications to existing applications or development of custom applications.
