  • Publication number: 20250045721
    Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for processing payment transactions that are conducted using a mobile payment device that includes a contactless element, such as an integrated circuit chip. The invention enables one or more of the operations of activation of a payment application, transfer of transaction data, updating of account records, setting or re-setting of a payment application counter or register, or transfer or processing of a script, command, or instruction, with these functions being performed with minimal impact on a consumer. This is accomplished by introducing a pre-tap and/or two-tap operation prior to, or as part of, the transaction flow.

  • Patent number: 12217262
    Abstract: Techniques for identifying a fraudulent interaction of a user device using time based risk features are described herein. In embodiments, time stamp information provided by an external clock and time units may be maintained by a user device. The user device may include an authentication component that is communicatively coupled to a clock component that generates the time units. In response to conducting an interaction with an access device and user device first time information may be received from the access device. Second time information may be determined based at least in part on the time units from the clock component and the time stamp information. The second time information may be compared to the first time information. An authentication plan for the interaction may be determined based at least in part on the comparison of the second time information to the first time information.

  • Patent number: 12216801
    Abstract: A system for providing updatable secure content resource. A content server may pay a content resource on the content author for an access by a requester. The content server receives a session request call from the requester prior to accessing the content resource. In response to the session request, the content server generates a session for the requester. The content server generates a payload that includes a location identifying the content resource on the content author and embeds the embedded cryptographic content. The content server transmits the generated payload to the requester. A resource server may receive an authentication access request in response to the embedded cryptographic content. In response to authenticating the authentication access request, the resource server provides the access to the requester.

  • Publication number: 20250028805
    Abstract: A homomorphic encryption scheme, such as Paillier encryption in combination with a bit packing process allows biometric matching at a terminal without exposing a biometric template stored at a user's device. Because such encryption schemes are data intensive, the bit packing process allows reductions in data being sent and processed so that the biometric matching process can be accomplished in near real time. The high speed of this optimized process allows the technique to be applied to many real world processes such as access control and transaction processing.

  • Patent number: 12206675
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for pre-authentication access request screening. A server computer may receive a request for access to a resource comprising access data. The server computer may transmit, to an authentication computer, an authentication request message comprising at least a subset of the access data and receive an authentication response message comprising authentication data. The server computer may determine an access score based on the authentication data. Alternatively, the server computer may determine the access score based on the access data without using/receiving authorization data. The server computer may generate an access indicator based on the access score. The server computer may prepare and transmit an authorization request message comprising the access indicator to an authorization computer. The authorization computer may approve or decline the access to the resource based on the access indicator.

  • Patent number: 12205110
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to methods, apparatuses, computer readable media and systems for providing, along with a token, a token assurance level and data used to generate the token assurance level. At the time a token is issued, one or more Identification and Verification (ID&V) methods may be performed to ensure that the token is replacing a PAN that was legitimately used by a token requestor. A token assurance level may be assigned to a given token in light of the type of ID&V that is performed and the entity performing the ID&V. Different ID&Vs may result in different token assurance levels. An issuer may wish to know the level of assurance and the data used in generating the level of assurance associated with a token prior to authorizing a payment transaction that uses the token.
