Publication number: 20240022902Abstract: During operation, a host computer may receive, associated with an electronic device, contact information of a user of the electronic device and input data for a hash function. Then, the host computer may verify the electronic device based at least in part on an identifier of the electronic device and stored device information. Alternatively, the host computer may jointly perform a verification process with a verification computer to verify the electronic device. Next, the host computer may generate a hashed version of the contact information based at least in part on the input data and the hash function. Moreover, the host computer may provide, addressed to a partner computer, the hashed contact information and a request for the provisioning data. Furthermore, the host computer may selectively receive, associated with the partner computer, the provisioning data, and the host computer may selectively provide, addressed to the electronic device, the provisioning data.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2023Publication date: January 18, 2024Inventors: Matthias Lerch, Benjamin D. Chester, Matthew C. Byington

Publication number: 20230122885Abstract: This application relates to re-provisioning of credentials, such as payment credentials, on a second electronic device from one or more credentials previously provisioned on a first electronic device. The one or more previously provisioned credentials may be stored on an external storage system and may be retrieved by the second electronic device for re-provisioning. The second electronic device may re-provision an instance of the one or more retrieved credentials for use in electronic transactions on the second electronic device using a secure element linked to the second electronic device and information that is unique to the one or more credentials being re-provisioned to the second electronic device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2022Publication date: April 20, 2023Inventors: Pritesh M. DAVE, David HARBIGE, Benjamin D. CHESTER

Patent number: 11321708Abstract: A device implementing an inter-device credential transfer system may include at least one processor that is configured to receive a request to transfer a transaction credential from a first device to a second device, the transaction credential being associated with a stored monetary value and the request comprising a transaction credential identifier of the transaction credential. The at least one processor is further configured to prevent, responsive to the request, the transaction credential from being utilized for payment transactions by the first device. The at least one processor is further configured to provision an instance of the transaction credential on the second device. The at least one processor is further configured to cause the instance of the transaction credential to be activated on the second device with a balance corresponding to the stored monetary value associated with the transaction credential.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2020Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Benjamin D. Chester, Glen W. Steele, Jeff W. Lin, Vineet Chadha

Publication number: 20180349886Abstract: A device implementing notification based provisioning of card accounts may include at least one processor configured to receive, from a service provider, an indication of a card account of a user, and to determine whether the card account is eligible to be added to a first device of the user for use in a wireless transaction system. The at least one processor is further configured to, when the card account is determined to be eligible to be added to the first device, transmit a notification to the first device for display, the notification indicating that the card account is eligible to be added to the first device for use in the transaction system, and initiate provisioning, on a secure element of the first device, of an applet corresponding to the card account when an approval for adding the card account to the first device is received responsive to the notification.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2018Publication date: December 6, 2018Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Scott D.
