  • Publication number: 20240022902
    Abstract: During operation, a host computer may receive, associated with an electronic device, contact information of a user of the electronic device and input data for a hash function. Then, the host computer may verify the electronic device based at least in part on an identifier of the electronic device and stored device information. Alternatively, the host computer may jointly perform a verification process with a verification computer to verify the electronic device. Next, the host computer may generate a hashed version of the contact information based at least in part on the input data and the hash function. Moreover, the host computer may provide, addressed to a partner computer, the hashed contact information and a request for the provisioning data. Furthermore, the host computer may selectively receive, associated with the partner computer, the provisioning data, and the host computer may selectively provide, addressed to the electronic device, the provisioning data.

  • Patent number: 11250421
    Abstract: An electronic device may attempt to provision an unprovisioned credential, such as a payment instrument, by providing a message with information specifying the unprovisioned credential to a first computer. This first computer may be associated with a first region in which: a first provisioned credential of a user is supported, the user has registered, and the user can conduct transactions based on the first provisioned credential. However, the unprovisioned credential may be supported in or otherwise associated with a second region. Consequently, the electronic device may receive, from the first computer, redirect information that specifies a second computer associated with the second region. In response, the electronic device can provide the message to the second computer. Further, the electronic device can communicate provisioning information for the unprovisioned credential with the second computer, so the credential can be provisioned.
