  • Publication number: 20250232366
    Abstract: Methods, techniques, and embodiments are generally directed to systems for receiving a request from an authenticated computing application to associate a contactless card with an account. The systems then authenticate that the request came from an account holder. After establishing the authenticity of the account holder, the systems determine a unique identifier for the account holder associated with the account. Finally, the systems send a second request to the authenticated computing application to write this unique identifier onto the contactless card.

  • Publication number: 20250225500
    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media for secure generation of one-time passcodes using a contactless card. In one example, an operating system (OS) of a device may receive a uniform resource locator (URL) and a cryptogram from a contactless card. The OS may launch an application associated with the URL. The application may transmit the cryptogram to an authentication server. The application may receive a decryption result from the authentication server indicating the authentication server decrypted the cryptogram. Based on the decryption result, the application may request an OTP. The processor may receive an OTP from an OTP generator. The application may receive an input value and compare the input value to a copy of the OTP. The application may determine that the comparison results in a match, and display, based on the determination that the comparison results in the match, one or more attributes of the account.

  • Patent number: 12354077
    Abstract: A merchant page in a browser may receive selection of a first financial institution. The merchant page may generate a uniform resource identifier (URI) directed to an application. At least a portion of the URI may be registered with the application and the first financial institution in a mobile operating system. Responsive to receiving selection of the URI, the mobile OS may launch the application, which may authenticate credentials for an account. The application may associate the user ID parameter and the session ID parameter with the account and receive a cryptogram from a contactless card. The application may receive, from a server, an indication specifying the server verified the cryptogram. The OS may launch the browser, which may refresh the page. The refreshed page may include a virtual card number (VCN) in a first form field. A transaction may be processed based on the VCN.

  • Patent number: 12354104
    Abstract: Logic may provide enforce a rate limit for product offers and generate a product token associated for product authentication. Logic may determine a rate limit associated with the product based on an identity of the consumer in a cryptogram for a transaction. Logic may compare the rate limit with a quantity of purchases of the product with a payment instrument provided for payment for the transaction, the rate limit to limit purchases of the product via the payment instrument or by the consumer associated with the payment instrument. Logic may approve the transaction based on comparison of the rate limit in response to the rate limit being greater than purchases of the product. Logic may create a product token via the cryptogram, the product token encoded via the cryptogram, the product token to uniquely identify the product and logic may cause transmission of the product token to the consumer.

  • Patent number: 12347284
    Abstract: Various embodiments for contextual tapping engines. For example, an application executing on a computing device may authenticate credentials associated with an account and detect a tap of a contactless card to the computing device. The application may receive, from a communications interface of the contactless card, action data used to determine an action associated with the tap of the contactless card to the computing device. The application may determine a context of the application based on a current output of the application. The application may determine, based on the action data, the determined context, and data associated with the account, a first action associated with the tap of the contactless card to the computing device, the first action associated with at least one of the application and an operating system (OS). The application may initiate performance of the first action based on the tap of the contactless card.

  • Publication number: 20250211443
    Abstract: A system and method are described that enables mobile devices (e.g. including but not limited to a mobile phone or the like), to intercept and respond to contactless card authentication requests, allowing mobile devices to be used in place of contactless cards. Enabling mobile phone devices to emulate contactless cards decreases issues related to lost or damaged cards, enabling a single device to be used to provide tokens related to multiple different contactless cards, and leverages functionality of the mobile device to provide dual-factor authentication.

  • Publication number: 20250173702
    Abstract: A contactless card can include a plurality of keys for a specific operation, e.g., encryption or signing a communication. The contactless card can also include an applet which uses a key selection module. The key selection module can select one of the plurality of keys and the applet can use the key to, e.g., encrypt or sign a communication using an encryption or signature algorithm. The contactless card can send the encrypted or signed communication to a host computer through a client device. The host computer can repeat the key selection technique of the contactless device to select the same key and thereby decrypt or verify the communication.

  • Publication number: 20250175461
    Abstract: The exemplary embodiments described herein overcome problems encountered by conventional systems by providing an authenticated messaging environment in which a user can securely message with a programmatic intelligent agent. The user may be authenticated at the prompting of the programmatic intelligent agent, such as the beginning of a messaging session or when the user submits a request that requires access to sensitive or confidential information or requires access to a secure account. The prompt may take the form of a message sent from the programmatic intelligent agent. The message may contain a link for launching code, such as an application, that facilitates authentication of the user's identity. The user may activate the link to launch the code and then perform the steps requested by the code to perform the authentication.

  • Publication number: 20250158820
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing resource access permissions for users with secured and unsecured authentication tokens. In some aspects, the system may receive, from a user, a resource access request for a system. The resource access request may include a user identifier and a first activity for the resource access request. The system may retrieve information regarding authentication tokens associated with the user usable to process the resource access request. In response to determining whether the user is associated with the secured authentication token and the unsecured authentication token, the system may process, using a machine learning model, the resource access request to determine a measure of risk to the system that is associated with executing the resource access request for the user. In response to determining that the measure of risk is below a threshold, the system may process the resource access request using the unsecured authentication token.

  • Publication number: 20250148468
    Abstract: Systems and methods are directed to a modified device configuration for disposing a NFC compatible user card within a NFC field of a user mobile device so as to enable continuous proximity monitoring based on a status of an NFC link established between the card and the mobile device. The modified device configuration may be utilized to implement card tracking functionality by using a mobile application, running on the mobile device, to generate a timestamp upon detection of change in a connectivity status of the NFC link to the card. The timestamp NFC connectivity data may then be paired with mobile device GPS coordinates, concurrently retrieved from one or more mobile GPS-based navigation applications, to facilitate card tracking functionality as well as multi-factor validation for electronic transactions initiated by the NFC compatible card and/or the mobile device.
