  • Publication number: 20230334476
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture to securely share data stored in a blockchain. A contactless card may receive a request to provide a data element from a device. An applet of the contactless card may encrypt the data element and a wallet address. The applet may generate a signature for the request, and transmit, to a mobile device, the signature and the encrypted data. The mobile device may transmit, to a verification service, the signature and encrypted data. The verification service may verify the signature based on a public key. A node in a blockchain may generate a block in the blockchain, the block comprising indications of the verification of the signature, the requested data element, and the wallet address. An encrypted data element corresponding to the data element may be decrypted using a public key. The device may receive the decrypted data element from the wallet address.

  • Patent number: 11783318
    Abstract: Disclosed are a system and methods enabling updating of a card number of a payment card and thereby reissuing the payment card utilizing a reissue application associated with the payment card. The reissue application, when executed communicates with a service provider that manages the payment card. The payment card includes processing circuity and a rewriteable visual display. Using cryptographic techniques, the reissue application and payment card are authenticated to the service provider. Upon verification, an updated card number is obtained and provided via near-field communication to the payment card. In response to the update payment card number received from the reissue application, the rewriteable visual display on the payment card is updated with the updated card number.

  • Patent number: 11776348
    Abstract: A dual-factor PIN based authentication system and method uses a cryptogram provided by a contactless card associated with the client in association with a PIN stored by the contactless card to authenticate the client. In some embodiments, cryptogram authentication may be preconditioned upon a PIN match determination by the contactless card. In other embodiments, the cryptogram may be formed at least in part using the personal identification number (PIN) stored on the contactless card encoded using a dynamic key stored by the contactless card and uniquely associated with the client. Authentication may be achieved by comparing the cryptogram formed using the PIN against an expected cryptogram generated an expected PIN and an expected dynamic key.

  • Patent number: 11777933
    Abstract: Systems, methods, articles of manufacture for authentication of payment cards. A server may assign, in a database, an expected card identifier to a contactless card, the contactless card associated with an account. The server may receive, from a client device, a request comprising a uniform resource locator (URL), a parameter of the URL comprising a card identifier, wherein the URL is transmitted by the contactless card to the client device. The server may extract the card identifier from the URL and compare the extracted card identifier to the expected card identifier in the database. The server may determine, based on the comparison, that the extracted card identifier matches the expected card identifier. The server may authenticate the request based on the extracted card identifier matching the expected card identifier, and transmit, to the client device, an indication specifying that the request was authenticated.

  • Publication number: 20230298417
    Abstract: Locks may rely upon identity credentials to act as keys for unlocking and/or locking the locks, such as door locks. The identity credentials may be digital credentials that hold identity information and evidence of knowledge of secret information, such as a password or a private cryptographic key. The door locks in exemplary embodiments may be connected to an access system via wireless network, such as a low power low frequency Wi-Fi network, like a HaLow network. The wireless network enables the door locks to communicate with the access system, such as a server for a lodging establishment. The access system may receive identity credentials and forward the identity credentials to an authentication service for authentication. The access system may also pass the identity of the guest to an authorization service to determine if the guest is authorized to unlock the door lock or not.

  • Patent number: 11763287
    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.

  • Publication number: 20230291438
    Abstract: A network-enabled smart apparatus has a data processing system, at least one operational system, wide area and local network communication interfaces, and a memory. The memory has stored therein apparatus identification information, at least one service application, and an activation application. The activation application causes the data processing system to establish an internet connection and create an NFC-enabled web page. The data processing system transmits, to the user device instructions to navigate to the NFC-enabled web page and instructions for the user to tap an NFC-enabled smart card to the user device. The apparatus data processing system reads, via the NFC-enabled web page, NFC information transmitted to the user device by the smart transaction card. The application causes the apparatus to transmit the NFC information to a service administration server, and receive, from the service administration server, a service activation command.

  • Publication number: 20230289875
    Abstract: In a method for changing a user's bank account information in merchant account databases a server receives a login request including a user identification and first user authentication information. The server further receives a request to change bank account information from a first bank account to a second bank account for merchant accounts of the user and network login information for the first bank account. The server accesses an account information database for the first bank account and downloads transaction information for merchant transactions involving the first bank account. The server identifies a set of merchant user accounts involved in the merchant transactions and receives account login information for a data site associated with a selected account. The server accesses the data site and changes a bank account identification stored therein from the first bank account to the second bank account.

  • Publication number: 20230291749
    Abstract: Systems and methods for verified messaging through the interaction involving a short-range transceiver, such as a contactless card, a client device and a server are presented. Verified messaging may be provided in the context of using a client device to receive a user identifier from the user's short-range transceiver, such as a contactless card, and sending a messaging request with the user identifier to a server, which may look up client device information and compare with data about the client device accompanying the request. Matching received client device information to stored client device data based on a user identifier obtained from a short-range transceiver provides an enhanced ability to verify that the client device corresponds to the user associated with the short-range transceiver.
