Abstract: A system and method for secure input using tokens is provided. A computer-implemented method conducted at a server computer includes receiving a transaction confirmation request associated with a transaction. The method includes providing, to an end-user via an online platform, a plurality of user input options associated with the transaction. The method includes receiving, from the end-user via the online platform, a unique token associated with a selected user input option, the unique token having been obtained by the end-user inputting a selection of a user input option into an end-user token generator which is configured to generate the unique token uniquely specifying the selected user input option. The method includes validating the unique token and identifying the selected user input option with which the unique token is associated.

Abstract: A method and system for secure input at a remote service are provided. In a method conducted at a secure input device, a hash operation is performed on a data structure including shared data, the shared data having been obtained from a remote service via an encrypted payload. User input for secure entry at the remote service is received and encoded by performing an operation on corresponding symbols of the user input and an output of the hash operation to output an encoded message, the user input and the encoded message having the same length. The encoded message is output for entry at the remote service.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a charger device (100) comprising: a sensor (10) which is configured to measure a differential current (DELTA_I) as a difference between a first current (I_POS) through a first battery portion (210) of a battery (200) and a second current (I_NEG) through a second battery portion (220) of the battery (200) and which is configured to provide a current difference signal (?I_meas) based on the measured differential current (DELTA_I); a compensator (20) which is configured to calculate a first current setpoint (I_SP_POS) used for the first battery portion (210) and a second current setpoint (I_SP_NEG) used for the second battery portion (220) based on the provided current difference signal (DELTA_I) and a battery current setpoint (I_SP); and a controller (30) which is configured to control charging and/or discharging of the first battery portion (210) based on the first current setpoint (I_SP_POS) and of the second battery portion (220) based on the second current setpoint (I_SP_NE

Abstract: A charger device comprises a sensor which is configured to measure a differential current as a difference between a first current through a first battery portion of a battery and a second current through a second battery portion of the battery. The sensor is configured to provide a current difference signal based on the measured differential current. The charger device further comprises a compensator configured to calculate a first current setpoint used for the first battery portion and a second current setpoint used for the second battery portion based on the current difference signal and a battery current setpoint. The charger device also comprises a controller configured to control charging and/or discharging of the first battery portion based on the first current setpoint and of the second battery portion based on the second current setpoint.
