  • Publication number: 20240078304
    Abstract: Methods and systems for mobile cardholder authentication are provided. An access device can obtain interaction data produced during an interaction between a user and the resource provider computer in which the user attempts to obtain a resource from a resource provider and user device data comprising a cryptogram and supplemental data from the user device or another user device operated by the user. The cryptogram of the user device can be validated and the interaction data and user device data can be compared to determine that the user interacting with the access device is the same user as the user that interacted with the resource provider computer. The access device can provide an indication that the resource will be provided to the user responsive to determining that the user interacting with the access device is the same user as the user that interacted with the resource provider computer.

  • Patent number: 11921884
    Abstract: Described herein are a system and techniques for enabling user control over usage of their information by data consumers, even when untrusted parties are involved, while also preventing collusion between the untrusted party and a data consumer. A user's information may be collected by a client device and provided to a host server. An encrypted version of the user's information may be stored at the host server so that it is processed on a private enclave of the host server. When the data is to be provided to multiple data consumers, the data may be encrypted for each of the data consumers and may be released to each of those data consumers simultaneously once confirmation has been received that the data has been made available to each of the data consumers.

  • Patent number: 11924324
    Abstract: Described herein is a system in which an electronic record is stored on a distributed environment with respect to an item. In this system, transactions may be conducted for an item in an anonymous fashion. In some embodiments, a first user may input an item identifier associated with an item as well as an indication of an action to be performed with respect to that item. The identifier may be transmitted to a blockchain network, which may use that identifier to locate a blockchain associated with the item. A blockchain may include a series of transaction records associated with the item, each of which is signed using a private key. Upon performance of the indicated action, the blockchain network may generate a new transaction record, append that transaction record to the blockchain, and sign the transaction record.

  • Patent number: 11915243
    Abstract: A user initiates a transaction by providing identification data at an access device. Certain elements of a validation identity token, such validation keys, may be distributed among several remote server computers. After the elements are retrieved during the transaction, the validation identity token may be generated using the retrieved elements. The validation identity token may indicate whether the user is authenticated. No single entity can possess all elements utilized to generate the validation identity token, which mitigates risk of the validation identity token being compromised. In some embodiments, the validation identity token may be a chromatic identity token, which may indicate validity by color.

  • Patent number: 11916917
    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.
