Publication number: 20260203760Abstract: A system for generating a trust score for mobile payments using a transacting mobile wallet. The method involves receiving a transaction indication and digital identity data, which is cryptographically signed by an identity provider. The mobile wallet encrypts this data with a public encryption element of a trust score service and transmits the encrypted data for evaluation. The trust score service derives a trust score from previous transactions and a database of fraudulent activity, returning the trust score with a cryptographic signature. The mobile wallet validates the signature and displays the trust score. The system may provide feedback to update future trust scores and compare the score to predefined thresholds to manage transaction outcomes.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2025Publication date: July 16, 2026Inventors: Clifford R. Bloom, Kami J. Hanson, Eric J. Miller
