  • Patent number: 11915243
    Abstract: A user initiates a transaction by providing identification data at an access device. Certain elements of a validation identity token, such validation keys, may be distributed among several remote server computers. After the elements are retrieved during the transaction, the validation identity token may be generated using the retrieved elements. The validation identity token may indicate whether the user is authenticated. No single entity can possess all elements utilized to generate the validation identity token, which mitigates risk of the validation identity token being compromised. In some embodiments, the validation identity token may be a chromatic identity token, which may indicate validity by color.

  • Patent number: 11769154
    Abstract: A portable token device is described, the token device useable to request transactions performed over an interchange system. The token device authenticates a user through the use of biometric data such as a fingerprint. When in proximity to a point of sale (POS) terminal, the token device communicates with the POS terminal over a wireless network to authorize a transaction involving the user. The interchange system employs blockchain elements that can be used in a payment apparatus for managing payments or other types of transactions, and for managing user accounts. The interchange system enables users to enroll in the system, and enables the various users' computing devices to be used as confirmation centers for new transactions and/or funds transfers between users.

  • Patent number: 11170379
    Abstract: Embodiments may enable a user to forward authorize a specific amount to a member of their payment pool by distributing a subtoken generated from a token issued to the user. The member of the payment pool may receive the subtoken through a delivery channel (e.g., by e-mail) and may utilize the subtoken during a purchase by providing a corresponding delivery channel identifier (e.g., e-mail address) as an authentication credential. In some embodiments, the subtoken may be time-sensitive and may be valid during a time period designated by the user.
