Abstract: A method includes transmitting an authorization request message with a credential or a token associated with a first user to an authorizing entity computer, and then receiving, from the authorizing entity computer, an authorization response message; and responsive to receiving the authorization response message. The method also includes transmitting the credential or the token to a vehicle. The first user is able to access the vehicle by presenting a user device that contains the credential or token to the vehicle.

Abstract: An issuing authority (IA) may validate the identity of a user and issue a digital license to the user. IA may generate IA public-private key pair, and provide IA public key to the certification authority (CA). IA may sign the digital license with IA private key, and provision the signed digital license on the user device. IA may request CA to certify the digital license. CA may use IA public key to validate the digital license, and sign IA public key with CA private key, thereby generating a digital certificate associated with the issuing authority that is linked to the digital license. A relying party may use CA public key to validate the digital license. The relying party can retrieve the information from the digital license and trust that the retrieved information is legitimate.

Abstract: A directory server is programmed to receive, from an access device, a first authentication request message comprising a credential or a token, and transmit, to an access control server, the first authentication request message. The access control server is programmed to transmit a one-time password to a user device. The directory server is further programmed to receive, from the access device, a second authentication request message with the credential or the token, and the one-time password, and transmit, to the access control server, the second authentication request message. The access control server is further programmed to validate the one-time password and generate an authentication response message including an authentication indicator in response to validating the one-time password. The directory server is further programmed to receive, from the access control server, the authentication response message including the authentication indicator and transmit the same to the access device.

Abstract: Methods and systems for performing efficient integration tests on mobile device for contactless data transfers are described. Rather than performing contactless communications with a variety of test user devices (e.g., test smart cards), which may be time consuming and may present physical difficulty, a mobile device can simulate the result of these communications using a simulator application operating on the mobile device. A contactless communication application, also operating on the mobile device, can communicate with the simulator application in order to generate interaction payloads based on stored data records corresponding to the test user devices. These interaction payloads can then be transmitted by the mobile device to a processing computer. Later, the mobile device may receive a response from the processing computer or another computer system, indicating if the interaction payloads were successfully received and interpreted. This in turn may indicate if the integration test was successful.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for authenticating a payment terminal during a payment transaction by a cardholder is disclosed. The computer-implemented method includes receiving payment information associated with a cardholder account of the cardholder. The method further includes transmitting a payment authorization request to an issuer server, receiving a response form the issuer server to the payment authorization request. The response includes a verification request of a personal identification number (PIN) associated with the cardholder account, and a cardholder-recognizable token previously associated with the cardholder account. The method further includes presenting the cardholder-recognizable token to the cardholder with the verification request of the PIN.

Abstract: Systems and methods are for confidentially and securely provisioning data to an authenticated user device. A user device may register an authentication public key with an authentication server. The authentication public key may be signed by an attestation private key maintained by the user device. Once the user device is registered, a provisioning server may send an authentication request message including a challenge to the user device. The user device may sign the challenge using an authentication private key corresponding to the registered authentication public key, and may return the signed challenge to the provisioning server. In response, the provisioning server may provide provisioning data to the user device. The registration, authentication, and provisioning process may use public key cryptography while maintaining confidentiality of the user device, the provisioning server, and then authentication server.

Abstract: A method is disclosed. The method includes receiving, by an access control server, an authentication request message comprising a credential or a token from an access device, after the access device receives the credential or the token from a portable device of a user. The method also includes responsive to receiving the authentication request message, transmitting, by the access control server, a challenge message to a user device associated with the user; generating, by the access control server, an authentication indicator. The method also includes transmitting, by the access control server, an authentication response message including the authentication indicator to the access device.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for processing payment transactions that are conducted using a mobile payment device that includes a contactless element, such as an integrated circuit chip. The invention enables one or more of the operations of activation of a payment application, transfer of transaction data, updating of account records, setting or re-setting of a payment application counter or register, or transfer or processing of a script, command, or instruction, with these functions being performed with minimal impact on a consumer. This is accomplished by introducing a pre-tap and/or two-tap operation prior to, or as part of, the transaction flow.

Abstract: A method includes forming a communication channel between a user device and an access device. The communication channel is then secured using a user device key pair in the user device and an access device ephemeral key pair in the access device. The access device then generates a session key using at least a private cryptographic key in the access device ephemeral key pair, and a public key in the user device key pair. The access device then uses the session key to secure an ultra-wideband communication channel between the user device and the access device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods, apparatuses, computer readable media and systems for securely processing remote transactions.

Abstract: In a system for verifying transactions, when a user with a portable communication device nears a resource provider location, the portable communication device provides an indication to a transaction processing system of its proximity to the location. The portable communication device then provides a universally unique identifier (UUID) of a base station of the resource provider to the transaction processing system, which generates a hash using the UUID and a primary account number (PAN) of a portable transaction device that is associated with the portable communication device. When the user conducts a transaction with the portable transaction device at the provider, the provider generates a separate hash from the UUID and the PAN and sends the hash to the transaction processing system. A match between the hashes is taken into account as a positive indicator that the transaction is not fraudulent and the resource provider is complying with the system.
