  • Patent number: 11354660
    Abstract: Various embodiments relate to a method performed by a processor of a computing system. An example method includes receiving a digitally signed cross-border payment message, the digitally signed cross-border payment message generated by digitally signing a first hash of a cross-border payment message with a first financial institution private key. A first financial institution public key is retrieved, the first financial institution public key of a public/private key pair that includes the first financial institution private key. The first financial institution public key is verified that it is associated with a first financial institution. A second hash of the cross-border payment message is generated.

  • Patent number: 11341470
    Abstract: Systems and methods of authenticating online purchases by detecting a presence of an authorized smart card at a personal computing device of a customer are disclosed. An issuer computing system maintains a customer database of personal information and financial information for a plurality of customers with issued smart cards. An authentication logic receives an authentication request sent from a local merchant circuit at the personal computing device over a network. The authentication request comprises an authentication code provided to the local merchant circuit by a contactless chip of a smart card. The authentication logic authenticates the authentication request by comparing the authentication code with stored information in the customer database and transmits an authentication approval to the personal computing device, wherein the authentication approval enables an online purchase transaction request corresponding to the authentication request.

  • Patent number: 11315116
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for use in authenticating consumers based on images of the consumers stored in payment cards. One exemplary method includes receiving, at a point-of-sale (POS) device, a transaction request by a consumer to purchase a product and soliciting, by the POS device, a payment device from the consumer for funding the transaction request. The method also includes retrieving, by the POS device, a reference image provisioned to the payment device, capturing, by the POS device, an image of the consumer presenting the payment device, and comparing, by the POS device, the captured image of the consumer to the reference image. The method then further includes submitting an authorization request, in response to the transaction request, when the captured image of the consumer matches the reference image, whereby the consumer is authenticated to the payment device.

  • Patent number: 11265326
    Abstract: Methods and systems for using block chain technology to verify transaction data are described herein. A computing platform may receive data about events related to transactions, personal or corporate information, supply chains, and other relevant information about a person or corporate entity. The event information may be received, aggregated, and processed to determine metadata about the person or corporate entity. The metadata may indicate, for example, a trustworthiness of the person or corporate entity for various purposes. Such event information and/or metadata may be stored as transactions in a block chain that may be accessible by counterparties to a potential transaction involving the person or corporate entity. The automated event processing computing platform may further use automated techniques to implement smart transactions between the person/entity and counterparty based on the trust metadata.
