Abstract: One or more systems, devices, computer program products and/or computer-implemented methods of use provided herein relate to tracking and publication of assets on blockchain or distributed ledger. The computer-implemented system can comprise a memory that can store computer executable components. The computer-implemented system can further comprise a processor that can execute the computer executable components stored in the memory, wherein the computer executable components can comprise a payment component that can provide a payment platform that enables a payment instrument to be used for performing one or more financial transactions associated with a smart contract or a core API, wherein the smart contract or the core API is executed on a distributed ledger network that can operate on a hashgraph consensus, wherein the payment instrument is an financial instrument associated with a bank, and wherein the payment platform bridges web3 technology with traditional payment rails.

Abstract: A method for obscuring a value of a sensitive data element includes: (a) receiving the sensitive data element, the sensitive data element being received over a data communications network (110) at a hardware computing device (142) of a trusted tokenization service provider (140); (b) generating a token corresponding to the received sensitive data element; (c) storing the token and sensitive data element in a memory device (146) such that they are correlated with one another; (d) providing the generated token to a first party (130) that uses the token in place of the sensitive data element in a request for authorization to complete a transaction, the request being sent from the first party (130); (e) intercepting the request for authorization including the token; (f) using the token contained in the intercepted request to look-up and retrieve the correlated sensitive data element in the memory device (160); (g) replacing the token contained in the request with the sensitive data element retrieved from the memo

Abstract: A method is provided for completing an authenticated commercial transaction over an internet protocol (IP) network (40) for an account holder (60) engaged in the transaction via a non-IP based telecommunications platform (30).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for conducting a commercial transaction over the Internet or other network connection are provided. Random numbers, which are unique for each user session, are pre-loaded onto a handheld, portable device, or token The random numbers are generated by external systems and delivered to the token for storage an internal memory and to a database accessible by an authentication system. The random numbers are dispensed by the token to a user by pressing a button on the token or otherwise signaling the token. A dispensed number is cross referenced, by the authentication system, to the database. The dispensed number authenticates the user or transaction.

Abstract: A method of centralized identity authentication for use in connection with a communications network includes registering users of the communications network such that each registered user's identity is uniquely defined and determinable, and registering a plurality of vendors having a presence on the communications network. The registered vendors selectively transact with registered users, wherein the transactions include: (i) the registered vendor selling goods and/or services to the registered user; (ii) the registered vendor granting the registered user access to personal records maintained by the registered vendor; and/or (iii) the registered vendor communicating to the registered user personal information maintained by the registered vendor. The method also includes each user's identity being authenticated over the communications network prior to completion of transactions between registered vendors and registered users.

Abstract: A universal payments dashboard system provides eCommerce merchants with an easy to integrate web page (inline frame) that displays all alternative payment button options that consumers can use on the merchant website(s) to pay for the purchase. Such merchants can display the dashboard on their shopping cart page(s) and on their checkout page(s) at the point where users select the payment option. The dashboard communicates with a payment dashboard provider to complete the payment for the transaction, including any consumer interaction such as entering checking account information, personal details, etc. Upon completing the payment for the order, the dashboard provides the merchant with the completed order information (e.g., a prepaid order) along with all the payment information. The dashboard supports all alternative payment options, payment transaction notifications to enable single cash register functionality and work in conjunction with alternative payment initiatives.
