Patent number: 12062044Abstract: A payment terminal includes a card interface and a transaction processor. The terminal receives a preliminary authorization amount, and receives application data from a payment card that is interfaced with the card interface. The application data includes an account number that is uniquely associated with the payment card. The processor generates an adjusted authorization amount from the account number and the preliminary authorization amount, determines whether the adjusted authorization amount can be authorized offline, and transmits a cryptogram request to the payment card. The adjusted authorization amount is different from the preliminary authorization amount. The cryptogram request includes the adjusted authorization amount.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2021Date of Patent: August 13, 2024Assignee: The Toronto-Dominion BankInventors: Robert Hayhow, Igor Elkhinovich, Jeffrey Aaron Ecker

Patent number: 11895095Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented systems, apparatuses, and processes that, among other things, authenticate device identity and authorize exchanges of data in real-time based on dynamically generated cryptographic data. For example, an apparatus may receive a first signal that includes a first cryptogram associated with a client device, and may perform operations that authenticate an identity of the client device based on a comparison of the received first cryptogram and a second cryptogram generated by a computing system associated with an application program executed by the client device. In response to the authenticated identity, the apparatus may load profile data associated with the client device from a storage unit, and perform operations consistent with the profile data in accordance with the authenticated identity.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2021Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: The Toronto-Dominion BankInventors: Dino Paul D'Agostino, Perry Aaron Jones Haldenby, Dean C.
