  • Publication number: 20240005328
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing disputes in biometric-enabled network interactions. One example computer-implemented method includes receiving, at a biometric identity switch (BIS), a dispute notification for a biometric-enabled network interaction involving an account of a user, and retrieving biometric data specific to the biometric-enabled network interaction. The method also includes determining, by the BIS) whether the biometric data is representative of the user and, in response to the biometric data not being representative of the user, requesting, from a biometric service provider, a biometric identifier for an additional user, based on the biometric data.

  • Publication number: 20230360014
    Abstract: A method for contactless payment relay attack protection includes receiving an online authorization request including a cryptogram, a measured processing time, and a reference processing time from a terminal. The cryptogram is verified, and a determination is performed as to whether the measured processing time exceeds the reference processing time. An online authorization response authorizing or declining a monetary transaction is transmitted, based on the determination. An artificial intelligence transaction analysis can be performed based on past and current conditions (e.g., battery level, operating system, open applications) of a payment device such as a mobile phone, past and current conditions of a terminal, and/or a monetary amount. The online authorization response can be based on the artificial intelligence transaction analysis.

  • Publication number: 20230153790
    Abstract: A bridge service is provided to support multi-user simulated contactless cards that in response to receiving a request to provision a secure element with payment card profile information of a user, provisions a token representing the payment card profile, converts the token representing the payment card profile into a format for the payment application; and provides the payment card profile to the payment application, the payment card profile comprising a single use key. The bridge service enables simulated contactless cards to store payment card information for a user on volatile memory instead of the persistent, secure element memory.

  • Publication number: 20230129991
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for facilitating biometric-enabled network interactions. One example computer-implemented method includes receiving, at a biometric identity switch, from a terminal associated with a party, a request for an enrollment of a biometric of a user for biometric-enabled network interactions, the request including a biometric template of the user, identifying a biometric service provider associated with the biometric template, requesting from the identified service biometric provider, a biometric identifier for the user, based on the biometric template, receiving the biometric identifier from the identified biometric service provider, and then storing the biometric identifier for the user in a user profile, whereby the user is enrolled for biometric-enabled network interactions using the biometric.

  • Patent number: 11138583
    Abstract: During recent years, chip-based transactions has been changing from mainly physical, like a chipcard, to mainly virtual, such as a software application on a mobile device. Although such mobile devices are very powerful compared to a conventional chip card, the data interactions with POI terminals must still be compliant with relevant specifications and standards such as the EMV standards. A computer implemented transaction method is provided that enables a first application to be switched with a second application whilst the transaction is in progress, and without loss of information relating to the transaction.

  • Patent number: 11107055
    Abstract: During recent years, chip-based payment has been changing from mainly physical, like a chipcard, to mainly virtual, such as a software application on a mobile device. Although such mobile devices are very powerful compared to a conventional chip card, the data interactions with POI terminals must still be compliant with the EMV specifications and standards. A computer-implemented payment transaction method is provided comprising: providing a standard EMV Contactless payment transaction protocol POI terminal, receiving from the user interface a selection of either the first or second payment application and modifying the PPSE accordingly; continuing, by the POI terminal, said EMV-compliant payment transaction by selecting the modified PPSE of the identification device; and selecting, by the POI terminal, the user-selected payment application to continue the payment transaction.

  • Publication number: 20200090161
    Abstract: A smart card adapted for staging a transaction for performance in connection with a terminal of a transaction system is provided. The smart card includes a processor and a memory. The memory includes transaction staging code and user payment credentials. The smart card also includes a biometric input device, a display, and a clock. On successful biometric input through the biometric input device, the processor is adapted to run the transaction staging code to provide transaction staging information including the user payment credentials and a freshness factor derived from a time value from the clock. The transaction staging information is displayed on the display as an optical code for reading at the terminal of the transaction system. A method of using such a smart card to stage a transaction is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20190197535
    Abstract: Identification protocols, such as those developed by EMVCo LLC, ensure worldwide interoperability between POI terminals and chip-based payment applications and devices. These standardized data interactions are very limited, and make the implementation of new functionalities very difficult, and it takes years before the standards are agreed and implemented. An identification transaction method comprising: commencing, by a POI terminal, an EMV-compliant identification transaction with an identification devices; receiving, by the POI terminal, an indication from the identification device that the device may participate in non-EMV compliant identification transactions; responding by either: (a) continuing the EMV-compliant identification transaction with the identification devices if the indication is negative or no indication is received; or (b) commencing and continuing a non-EMV compliant identification transaction with the identification devices if the indication is positive.
