Abstract: A system for issuing a dynamic temporary credential to a portable communication device for use in a transaction with an electronic control point. The system receives the current geo-location of the portable communication device and transmits a dynamic temporary credential to the portable communication device from the centralized computer. The system further scores the risk in authorizing a transaction associated with an electronic control point using the dynamic temporary credential it issued. The system may prevent the transmission of the dynamic temporary credential until the end user has been authenticated, which may include verifying one or more of a manually input passcode, the unique digital signature of the portable communication device, and know your customer queries.

Abstract: A limited scope blockchain system supports onboarding and payments via linked databases including an append-only database and a secondary database holding transaction requests that have not been applied to the blockchain.

Abstract: A blockchain is identified by a plurality of certificates of different types. The certificate format is optimized to be compact and easily described. Parsing the certificate is secure. The certificate is extendible through a self-describing mechanism.

Abstract: A system manages payments by an entity to its partners (suppliers, service providers, etc.) by providing an intermediary capability to disaggregate and regenerate payment orders using real time inputs from the payee. A single obligation may be split into different payments to different institutions and payment vehicles such as prepaid cards, countries, and currencies. An Al predictive function may reduce foreign currency transfers and their associated costs by recognizing intra-divisional, intracompany and intercompany assets and liabilities to allow in-country net settlements to be made prior to using a foreign currency transfer. When needed, foreign currency transfers may be aggregated to reduce the volume and velocity of those transfers. Tokenization of financial data and accounts may further protect activity between payors, payees, and financial institutions.

Abstract: A system for providing first and second trusted applications diverse permission to communicate via a secure element. The system comprising first digital identifier and digital token operably associated with the first trusted application; a second digital identifier and digital token operably associated with the second trusted application. The system further includes a card services module that provides an application programming interface to the secure element supported by a secure data table including first and second sets of permissions. The card services module issues one or more commands to the secure element based on a first action requested by the first trusted application in conjunction with the presentation of the first digital token only if the one or more commands will not violate the first set of permissions. A method is also disclosed.

Abstract: A system for using a dynamic temporary credential with a portable communication device for use in a transaction with an electronic control point (e.g. point of sale, NFC access point) wherein the portable communication device has a geo-location module (e.g. GPS). The system has a centralized module that receives the portable communication device's current geo-location and transmits the dynamic temporary credential to the portable communication device and provides predictive transaction information—including the dynamic temporary credential and portable communication device's geo-location—to an authorization system operably associated with the electronic control point. The dynamic temporary credential has a predetermined time to live, which allows for the recycling of the dynamic credential, such recycling may take into account the geo-location for which the credential has been recently issued. A method for using a dynamic temporary credential with a portable communication device is also disclosed.

Abstract: A system for providing an application associated with a portable communication device the ability to communicate via a secure element. The system has a digital identifier and digital token operably associated with the application; a card services module that provides an application programming interface to the secure element; and a secure data table associated with the card services module. The secure data table includes a list of trusted applications each identifiable by paired digital identifier and token. The card services module [includes] compares the identifier and the token with each of the identifier-token pairs in the table until a match indicates the application is trusted. The card services module issues commands to the secure element based on an action requested by a trusted application in conjunction with the presentation of the digital token. A method of providing an application with the ability to communicate via secure element is also disclosed.

Abstract: A system for presentation of multiple NFC credentials via an NFC baseband in a portable communication device during a single NFC transaction. The system comprises a secure element having a directory of available NFC credentials stored therein, wherein the ordering of the available NFC credentials usually indicates the priority. The system further comprises a pre-determined multiple-credential start Application ID (AID) wherein the directory includes a plurality of NFC credentials after the pre-determined multiple-credential start AID. A method for presenting multiple NFC credentials during a single NFC transaction is also disclosed.

Abstract: Increasing security of financial transactions conducted over the Internet is disclosed. In an example, an apparatus may be configured to prompt a user for authorization to permit a pending purchase initiated by a purchase initiating device. The apparatus may establish, via a mobile network interface, a secure communication channel with a server and communicate a credential via the secure communication channel. The apparatus may generate a token based on the credential and communicate the token to the server via the mobile network interface.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, methods, articles of manufacture, and interfaces for electronic media file (e.g., e-book) management are provided. Data descriptive of electronic media files (e.g., e-books, video, and/or audio files) may be searched, scanned, looked-up, and/or otherwise acquired. Such data may be utilized to determine an authenticity and/or availability of a particular media file. Digital Rights Management (DRM) and/or other related files and/or information may be analyzed, for example, to determine a likelihood or probability that a particular media file is (i) available and/or accessible and/or (ii) authentic. The likelihood of a media file being available and/or authentic may be utilized to select and/or provide content to a user such as one or more advertisements, rewards and/or promotions (e.g., from a third-party).
