  • Publication number: 20240005311
    Abstract: Disclosed are examples of a method, a wearable device and a system enabling authentication of a user of a payment account or completion of a purchase transaction via signals generated by the wearable device. A process may include a wearable device generating a modulated signal using an encryption algorithm. The modulated signal may contain authentication information related to the wearable device including a cryptographic authentication message. The modulated signal is output to a biological medium interface of the wearable device that is coupled to a biological medium of a wearer of the wearable device. The biological medium is operable to conduct the modulated signal. A receiving device processes including decrypting and demodulating the modulated signal received from the biological medium. Using the demodulated signal, the authentication information transmitted from the wearable device is obtained. Based on the obtained authentication information, a transaction may be authorized, or a user authenticated.

  • Publication number: 20230419295
    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: 11848724
    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: 20230396617
    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: 20230394462
    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: 20230385845
    Abstract: In a method for provisioning account information of a payment card, user datum encryption information is transmitted to a transaction data processing system. A user datum encrypted using the user datum encryption information and a request to share account provisioning information is received from the transaction data processing system when the payment card is present by a user at the transaction data processing system. A user account associated with the payment card is determined and the user of the payment card is authenticated. A request for confirmation that the account provisioning information should be shared is sent to a user device associated with the user account and a confirmation response is received from the user device that includes permission to share account provisioning information. Account provisioning information is then transmitted to the transaction data processing system.

  • Publication number: 20230388345
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed that leverage multi-factor authentication features of a service provider and intelligent call routing to increase security and efficiency at a customer call center. Pre-authentication of customer support requests reduces the potential for misappropriation of sensitive customer data during call handling. A contactless card uniquely associated with a client may provide a second factor of authentication via a backchannel to reduce the potential for malicious third-party impersonation of the client prior to transfer of the call to the customer call center. Pre-authorized customer support calls may be intelligently and efficiently routed directly to call center agents, without incurring further delay. During call handling, call center agents may initiate further client authentication processes, including contactless card authentication requests, over one or more different communication channels for authorizing access to sensitive information or to allay suspicion.
