Abstract: A method for conveying a data message using a public ledger includes: generating, by a generation module of a processing server, a data message, wherein the data message comprises one or more data values; electronically transmitting, by a transmitting device of the processing server, a data signal superimposed with the generated data message to a first computing system; receiving, by a receiving device of the processing server, a data signal superimposed with an encrypted message from the first computing system, wherein the encrypted message is generated via application of one or more encryption algorithms to the generated data message using at least one encryption key; appending, by the generation module of the processing server, an identification value to the encrypted message; and submitting, by the transmitting device of the processing server, the appended encrypted message to a public ledger associated with a second computing system.

Abstract: A method for electronically transmitting data based on a physical gesture includes: storing at least one gesture pair, wherein each gesture pair includes at least a physical gesture and an associated data conveyance, the physical gesture being stored as one or more data points telegraphing three-dimensional movement; capturing a plurality of movement data points based on movement of one or more motion capturing devices; identifying a specific gesture pair where at least one of the captured plurality of movement data points corresponds to the included physical gesture; establishing a communication channel with an external computing device; and transmitting the associated data conveyance included in the identified specific gesture pair to the external computing device using the established communication channel.

Abstract: Systems and methods for authenticating payment transactions using a payment card processing system are disclosed. A method for processing one or more payment transactions using a payment processing system in communication with a computer readable storage medium includes receiving a push or pull request from a first device associated with a first user, wherein the push or pull request relates to a transaction with a second device associated with a second user, receiving a first biometric measurement from the first device, and receiving a second biometric measurement from the second device. The method further includes, responsive to determining that the first biometric measurement identifies the first user, determining that the second biometric measurement identifies the second user, and determining that the first device and second device are within a predetermined relative proximity, effecting the transaction based on the push or pull request.
