Patent number: 11847640Abstract: Methods, apparatus and computer software are provided for authorizing an EMV transaction between a user device and a point of sale terminal, particularly, but not exclusively, in situations where a secure element is not made available for the deployment of a payment application on the user device. The payment application is instead deployed to a processing environment that is outside of any secure element on the user device. The payment application is associated with a certificate and a corresponding hash. The hash is adapted to be generated on the basis of an application expiration date parameter, which is adapted to comprise data indicative of an expiration date of day level granularity associated with the certificate. During processing of the EMV transaction, the point-of-sale terminal verifies the hash, thereby establishing the authenticity of the application expiration date, and hence the validity of the certificate.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2022Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Visa Europe LimitedInventor: Stuart Fiske

Patent number: 11710119Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2020Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignees: VISA INTERNATIONAL SERVICE ASSOCIATION, MASTERCARD INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATEDInventors: Glenn Leon Powell, John F.

Patent number: 11657458Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to computing platforms that utilize third party data for customized output generation. A computing platform may receive encrypted data corresponding to a travel history. The computing platform may decrypt a portion of the encrypted data, resulting in first decrypted travel history data. The computing platform may direct a user device to display the first decrypted travel history data, along with a first option to continue decrypting a subsequent portion of the encrypted data and a second option to delete the first decrypted travel history data. After receiving a selection of the first option, the computing platform may decrypt the subsequent portion of the encrypted data. After determining that the encrypted data is fully decrypted, the computing platform may process the decrypted data to generate a customized product output, and may direct the user device to display the customized product output.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2020Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: Allstate Insurance CompanyInventors: Howard Hayes, Sunil Chintakindi, Surender Kumar, Tim Gibson
