  • Patent number: 10997622
    Abstract: Technologies are described for generating and validating encrypted coupons. For example, an encrypted coupon can be received. The encrypted coupon can be decrypted using a public key. The decrypted coupon can be decoded (e.g., using a pre-defined data format) to extract coupon data comprising a unique coupon identifier and a unique user identifier. The decrypted coupon can be validated based at least in part upon the unique coupon identifier and the unique user identifier. The process of receiving the encrypted coupon, decrypting the encrypted coupon, decoding the decrypted coupon, and validating the decrypted coupon can be performed offline (e.g., without access to external networks or the internet) and without accessing information indicating associations between unique coupon identifiers and unique user identifiers.
