  • Publication number: 20240054809
    Abstract: A verification application executing at a user's mobile phone directs the user to take a photo of an identification document (e.g., driver's license or other form of government issued identification) or of their face. After the verification application sends the image to a backend service, the service may then dispatch a drone to the user's location and take a photograph of the user. The service may then validate the previously-imaged document or photo of the user's face against the photograph of the user and the geolocation sent with the first image. The service may then verify the new account and provision a token to the verification application to complete a secured account generation.

  • Patent number: 11900359
    Abstract: The ELECTRONIC WALLET CHECKOUT PLATFORM APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“EWCP”) transform customer purchase requests triggering electronic wallet applications via EWCP components into electronic purchase confirmation and receipts. In one implementation, the EWCP receives a merchant payment request, and determines a payment protocol handler associated with the merchant payment request. The EWCP instantiates a wallet application via the payment protocol handler. The EWCP obtains a payment method selection via the wallet application, wherein the selected payment method is one of a credit card, a debit card, a gift card selected from an electronic wallet, and sends a transaction execution request for a transaction associated with the merchant payment request. Also, the EWCP receives a purchase response to the transaction execution request, and outputs purchase response information derived from the received purchase response.

  • Patent number: 11900361
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to issuing tokens for identifiers associated with a resource provider account specific to the resource provider issuing the account. A resource provider processor system interfaces with a resource provider computer to validate account eligibility upon receiving a token request message. If the account is eligible for token generation, the resource provider processor system generates a universal identifier corresponding to the identifier associated with the resource provider account and returns the universal identifier to the token requestor. The token requestor may send a token request message to a token issuer for obtaining a token using the universal identifier. Accordingly, the universal account identifier can be used to provision a token into a digital wallet. Transactions using the token may be processed with the resource provider processor system acting as an account issuer.

  • Patent number: 11900371
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to methods, systems, and devices for replacing a token on a user device, such as a transaction card. The transaction card includes tokens representing an actual account identifier which is not visible on the transaction card. The transaction card may store a first token on a and include a digital display that displays a second token. When the first token or the second token is compromised, the compromised token is replaced without replacing the transaction card. When the second token is compromised, the compromised token is replaced with a new replacement second token using an electronic device. The replacement second token replaces the old second token on the digital display. After the second token is compromised and before the replacement second token is provisioned on the transaction card, the transaction card may still be used for transactions using other tokens provisioned on the card.

  • Patent number: 11899820
    Abstract: A system for storing and managing secure information is disclosed that includes a secure identity and profiling system, which serves as a middleman between a user and an entity requesting personally identifiable information (PII) from the user. The system collects the PII from the user and stores it securely, such as in an alternate blockchain in an encrypted form. The location of the that PII within the alternate blockchain may be indexed using smart contracts in a main blockchain that can only be read with an access token generated and supplied by the user's mobile device. When an entity requests PII from the user that has already been collected and securely stored, the user can provide permission to release that PII by providing the access token. The system will use the access token to locate where the PII is stored and release the PII to the requesting entity.

  • Patent number: 11900250
    Abstract: A system and method for using a deep learning model to learn program semantics is disclosed. The method includes receiving a plurality of execution traces of a program, each execution trace comprising a plurality of variable values. The plurality of variable values are encoded by a first recurrent neural network to generate a plurality of program states for each execution trace. A bi-directional recurrent neural network can then determine a reduced set of program states for each execution trace from the plurality of program states. The reduced set of program states are then encoded by a second recurrent neural network to generate a plurality of executions for the program. The method then includes pooling the plurality of executions to generate a program embedding and predicting semantics of the program using the program embedding.

  • Publication number: 20240046228
    Abstract: An automation computer can receive a set of instructions pertaining to a transaction. The automation computer can generate a request to generate and activate a virtual account, where the virtual account is associated with a transaction value and a transaction amount. The virtual account can be managed by an authorization computer that can load a transaction value onto the virtual account in an amount equal to the transaction amount. The authorization computer managing both issuer and acquirer functionality in a transaction settlement can settle the transaction rapidly using the loaded virtual account by depositing the transaction value associated with the virtual account directly into an account of a resource provider.

  • Publication number: 20240048390
    Abstract: Secure protocols for external-facing authentication are provided for both user templates stored on their devices and the biometric measurement captured by external sensors of an access device. The protocols provide different levels of security, ranging from passive security with some leakage to active security with no leakage. A packing technique is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20240048395
    Abstract: An issuing authority (IA) may validate the identity of a user and issue a digital license to the user. IA may generate IA public-private key pair, and provide IA public key to the certification authority (CA). IA may sign the digital license with IA private key, and provision the signed digital license on the user device. IA may request CA to certify the digital license. CA may use IA public key to validate the digital license, and sign IA public key with CA private key, thereby generating a digital certificate associated with the issuing authority that is linked to the digital license. A relying party may use CA public key to validate the digital license. The relying party can retrieve the information from the digital license and trust that the retrieved information is legitimate.
