Publication number: 20240147243Abstract: An embodiment includes a method to increase the efficiency of security checkpoint operations. A security checkpoint kiosk serves as a Relying Party System (RPS). The RPS establishes a secure local connection between the RPS and a User Mobile-Identification-Credential Device (UMD). The RPS sends a user information request to the UMD, via the secure local connection, seeking release of user information associated with a Mobile Identification Credential (MIC). The RPS obtains authentication of the user information received in response to the user information request. The RPS retrieves user travel information based on the user information. The RPS determines that the user travel information matches the user information. When the user travel information matches the user information, the RPS approves the user to proceed past the security checkpoint kiosk.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Haya Iris VILLANUEVA GAVIOLA, Gianpaolo FASOLI, Vinay GANESH, Irene M. GRAFF, Martijn Theo HARING, Ahmer A. KHAN, Franck Farian RAKOTOMALALA, Gordon Y. SCOTT, Ho Cheung CHUNG, Antonio ALLEN, Mayura Dhananjaya DESHPANDE, Thomas John MILLER, Christopher SHARP, David W.

Publication number: 20240037533Abstract: A device implementing an express credential transaction system includes at least one processor configured to receive an indication that a payment applet for a service provider has been provisioned on a secure element of the device with a first attribute indicating that the payment applet can be utilized for a transaction without authentication associated with the transaction. The processor is configured to set the first attribute of the payment applet to indicate that authentication is required to utilize the payment applet when another payment applet for the service provider provisioned on the secure element of the device has an attribute that indicates the other payment applet can be utilized for the transaction without user authentication. The at least one processor is configured to control whether the user authentication is requested when utilizing the payment applet or the other payment applet, respectively, in transactions.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2023Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Najeeb M.

Publication number: 20230224709Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting and preventing a relay attack in a channel on which a near field communication (NFC) action between a key holder device and a reader is attempted are disclosed. A time limit is established for polling communications between the key holder device and the reader. Each of the reader and the key holder device generates a reader random value and a device random value respectively. The reader sends to the key holder device the reader random value, which includes the time limit for a response from the key holder device, the response including the device random value and the reader random value. The reader receives the response from the key holder device and can then determine whether the response from the key holder device is received within the time limit, to detect whether a relay attack can be made on the channel for the NFC action.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2022Publication date: July 13, 2023Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Matthias Lerch, Florian Galdo, Gordon Y.

Publication number: 20230108614Abstract: A user device including near-field communication (NFC) circuitry may receive a polling message from an NFC terminal. The user device may obtain information based at least in part on the polling message. The user device may determine a characteristic of the NFC terminal based at least in part on the information. The characteristic may be indicative of a radio frequency (RF) field strength of the NFC terminal. The user device may adjust an RF setting of the NFC circuitry based at least in part on the characteristic. The RF setting may correspond to an RF sensitivity of the NFC circuitry.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2022Publication date: April 6, 2023Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Vignesh Babu Moorthy, Rahul Narayan Singh, Gordon Y.

Publication number: 20220374868Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for transmitting, as part of a polling loop, a value added services (VAS) command that includes capability data corresponding to a payment terminal. For example, the payment terminal can transmit a VAS command that advertises the payment terminal's capabilities as part of a polling loop. The payment terminal can listen for a response to the VAS command and, after receiving a response, the payment terminal may initiate a VAS protocol. The VAS command can also specify a mode in which the payment terminal is operating, such as a payment-only mode, a VAS mode, a payment-plus-VAS mode, etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2022Publication date: November 24, 2022Inventors: Ahmer Ali KHAN, Brian J.
