  • System and method for processing and forwarding transmitted information
    Patent number: 10680951
    Abstract: A system and method for handling a digital electronic flow between a first and second entity in which a flow policy is determined that is to be applied to the flow and the flow is then directed along a path in accordance with the policy. An ID is supplied for each flow and a tag associated with each flow which indicates the policy to be applied to its associated flow. Flows are also associated with one another, with associated flows having associated policies. In particular the flow may be processed or forwarded. The path may include a graph structure and virtual applications.

  • Secure Payments Using Portable Communication Devices and Two Dimensional Codes
    Publication number: 20150348033
    Abstract: Method and system for facilitating a transaction between a payor and a payee. The method involves, on a first portable communication device of a payee (12), receiving transaction data, generating a digitally signed invoice artefact incorporating the transaction data and displaying the digitally signed invoice artefact on a display of the payee's device (12). The method then involves, on a second portable communication device of a payor (10), capturing an image of the displayed digitally signed invoice artefact and extracting the transaction data, displaying the transaction data on a display of the payor's device (10), receiving a user input confirming the correctness of the transaction data and transmitting the transaction data securely to a verification centre (16), generating a digitally signed confirmation artefact, and displaying the digitally signed confirmation artefact on the display of the payor's device (10).
