  • Patent number: 11715100
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to electronic systems and computerized methods for verification of transacting parties to process transactions. A payment network server receives details of a transaction fulfilled by an agent and generates a transaction identification plaintext. A first party keyset for the first transacting party and an agent keyset for the agent is identified. The server generates cryptograms and ciphertexts encrypted by the first party keyset and agent keyset and sends the cryptograms to the first transacting party and agent. An encrypted cryptogram contains an encrypted ciphertext which contains a plaintext representing the transaction identification plaintext. The ciphertexts are exchanged between the first transacting party and agent by a computer handshake for decryption. The plaintexts are extracted from the ciphertexts and compared against the transaction identification plaintext for verifying the first transacting party and agent.

  • Patent number: 11705247
    Abstract: In an approach to predictive contact tracing, a computer receives a query associated with contact tracing of a person with an infection. A computer retrieves timestamped location data associated with the person over a period of time. Based on the retrieved data, a computer creates a contact graph associated with the person, where the contact graph depicts one or more other people that were in contact with the person over the period of time. A computer retrieves medical data associated with the person and the one or more other people that were in contact with the person over the period of time. Based on the retrieved data, a computer builds a probabilistic model. A computer runs the probabilistic model to provide a prediction of a probability of infection of the one or more other people over the period of time as a result of being in contact with the person.

  • Patent number: 11704649
    Abstract: A method for contactless payment relay attack protection includes receiving an online authorization request including a cryptogram, a measured processing time, and a reference processing time from a terminal. The cryptogram is verified, and a determination is performed as to whether the measured processing time exceeds the reference processing time. An online authorization response authorizing or declining a monetary transaction is transmitted, based on the determination. An artificial intelligence transaction analysis can be performed based on past and current conditions (e.g., battery level, operating system, open applications) of a payment device such as a mobile phone, past and current conditions of a terminal, and/or a monetary amount. The online authorization response can be based on the artificial intelligence transaction analysis.

  • Patent number: 11640605
    Abstract: A method, server and storage medium for verifying a transaction using a smart card are disclosed. A server receives a transaction request to perform a transaction with a user of the smart card. The transaction request includes identification information and encrypted data extracted from the smart card, and transaction information. The server determines a user account linked to the identification information. The server performs a first verification process to authenticate the smart card by verifying that the smart card possesses a correct decryption key corresponding to the identification information. The server performs a second verification process to authenticate the smart card by verifying that the encrypted data extracted from the smart card encodes stored data corresponding to the respective user account linked to the identification information. If the first and the second verification processes are successful, the server processes the transaction in accordance with the transaction information.
