  • Publication number: 20240007308
    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.

  • Patent number: 11777733
    Abstract: Techniques are described for managing master keys for token requestors to use in generating cryptograms such as TAVVs. A processor computer generates a first master key for a token requestor, the first master key being generated based on (a) a second master key managed by the processor computer and (b) an identifier of the token requestor. The processor computer transmits, to a token requestor computer corresponding to the token requestor, the first master key. The processor computer receives, from the token requestor computer, a request for a token. Responsive to receiving the request for the token, the processor computer transmits the token to the token requestor computer; and receives, from the token requestor computer, an authorization request message comprising the token and a cryptogram generated by the token requestor computer using the first master key and the token.

  • Patent number: 11720893
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and methods that allow users to use their communication devices to perform transactions (e.g., payment transactions, access transactions, etc.). To complete a transaction, a resource provider electronically generates a code representing transaction data and displays it on an access device. The user scans the code with his or her communication device using a camera associated with the communication device, for example. The code is interpreted by an application on the communication device. The user may request and receive a token at the communication device corresponding to sensitive information selected to perform the transaction (e.g., a primary account number). The user may then provide the token and the transaction data via the communication device to a server computer, which may facilitate completion of the transaction between the user and the resource provider using the transaction data and the token.
