Abstract: A method includes receiving a provisioning request from a payment application, the provisioning request requesting allocation of a payment key, obtaining a checksum of the payment application, generating the payment key, encrypting the payment key using the checksum of the payment application to provide an encrypted payment key, and transmitting the encrypted payment key to the payment application.

Abstract: A method of verifying a package delivery includes electronically reading a package shipment code on a package delivered to an address, transmitting the package shipment code to a transaction server, receiving a confirmation message including a transaction amount from the transaction server, displaying the confirmation message to a user, receiving a payment authorization from the user in response to the confirmation message, and sending payment information to a payment processing server in response to receiving the payment authorization from the user.

Abstract: A method of performing operations on a processor of a mobile payment transaction processing system, includes receiving mobile payment messages from a point-of-sale (POS) terminal operated by a merchant performing mobile payment transactions with mobile terminals. Each of the mobile payment messages contains transaction information, a network address for the POS terminal, and a geographic location provided by the mobile terminal. A POS terminal risk score is generated based on similarity between the geographic locations provided by the mobile terminals contained in the mobile payment messages which also contain the network address for the POS terminal. Processing of another mobile payment message, which is received from the POS terminal performing another mobile payment transaction with another mobile terminal subsequent to the generating of the POS terminal risk score, is controlled based on the POS terminal risk score and transaction information contained in the another mobile payment message.

Abstract: In various embodiments, methods and systems for language scaling a natural language processing system (NLPS) are provided. A database schema of a database is accessed. The database schema includes entities that are defined in a query natural language different from an NLPS natural language upon which NLPS components are built. The entities are communicated to a machine translation service and top translations. A translated database schema model is generated based on the entities and translations. When a query associated with the query natural language and the database schema is received, a query translation is generated. The query translation comprises selectively translated portions of the query based on a selective translation mechanism that includes accessing the machine translation service to translate selected portions of the query. The selected portions are selected based on the translated database schema. The query translation is executed on the NLPS components to identify query results.
