  • Publication number: 20220284431
    Abstract: A system and method for electronic payment that involves generating and then using a temporary token based on a legacy PAN (Primary Account Number) to conduct an electronic transaction. The token is generated by transforming the PAN using specific inputs such that the original PAN can be recovered by manipulating the token in various ways as disclosed herein. One potential manipulation that may be used is encryption/decryption. The token is transmitted to a portable electronic device such that the portable electronic device may present the token to a point-of-sale device. The POS communicates the token to a server which validates the token by, among other things, recovering the PAN. If the PAN is recovered as expected a validation message is returned to the POS device.

  • Patent number: 9607298
    Abstract: A system for providing an application associated with a portable communication device the ability to communicate via a secure element. The system has a digital identifier and digital token operably associated with the application; a card services module that provides an application programming interface to the secure element; and a secure data table associated with the card services module. The secure data table includes a list of trusted applications each identifiable by paired digital identifier and token. The card services module [includes] compares the identifier and the token with each of the identifier-token pairs in the table until a match indicates the application is trusted. The card services module issues commands to the secure element based on an action requested by a trusted application in conjunction with the presentation of the digital token. A method of providing an application with the ability to communicate via secure element is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8811895
    Abstract: A system for presentation of multiple NFC credentials via an NFC baseband in a portable communication device during a single NFC transaction. The system comprises a secure element having a directory of available NFC credentials stored therein, wherein the ordering of the available NFC credentials usually indicates the priority. The system further comprises a pre-determined multiple-credential start Application ID (AID) wherein the directory includes a plurality of NFC credentials after the pre-determined multiple-credential start AID. A method for presenting multiple NFC credentials during a single NFC transaction is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20140223510
    Abstract: A system for providing first and second trusted applications diverse permission to communicate via a secure element. The system comprising first digital identifier and digital token operably associated with the first trusted application; a second digital identifier and digital token operably associated with the second trusted application. The system further includes a card services module that provides an application programming interface to the secure element supported by a secure data table including first and second sets of permissions. The card services module issues one or more commands to the secure element based on a first action requested by the first trusted application in conjunction with the presentation of the first digital token only if the one or more commands will not violate the first set of permissions. A method is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20130159186
    Abstract: A system for using a dynamic temporary credential with a portable communication device for use in a transaction with an electronic control point (e.g. point of sale, NFC access point) wherein the portable communication device has a geo-location module (e.g. GPS). The system has a centralized module that receives the portable communication device's current geo-location and transmits the dynamic temporary credential to the portable communication device and provides predictive transaction information—including the dynamic temporary credential and portable communication device's geo-location—to an authorization system operably associated with the electronic control point. The dynamic temporary credential has a predetermined time to live, which allows for the recycling of the dynamic credential, such recycling may take into account the geo-location for which the credential has been recently issued. A method for using a dynamic temporary credential with a portable communication device is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20130117186
    Abstract: Increasing security of financial transactions conducted over the Internet is disclosed. In an example, an apparatus may be configured to prompt a user for authorization to permit a pending purchase initiated by a purchase initiating device. The apparatus may establish, via a mobile network interface, a secure communication channel with a server and communicate a credential via the secure communication channel. The apparatus may generate a token based on the credential and communicate the token to the server via the mobile network interface.

  • Publication number: 20120265685
    Abstract: This invention involves, in part, a system for automatically selecting a credential among a plurality of credentials on a portable communication device based on a geo-location of the portable communication device and based on a user preference, for use in an electronic wallet transaction. The system includes a geo-location device configured to detect the geo-location of the portable communication device; a location identification service unit configured to be activated by a pre-determined user input, and configured to determine a merchant where the portable communication device is most likely to be located based on said geo-location; means for storing preferences corresponding to the plurality of credentials; and means for automatically determining which of the plurality of credentials to use for the electronic wallet transaction based on the preferences.
