Abstract: Disclosed embodiments pertain to provisioning a virtual payment card for an authorized user in a browser. A primary cardholder can request the addition of an individual as an authorized user on the primary cardholder's account. Further information regarding the individual can be solicited and utilized to compute a risk score associated with adding the individual as an authorized user. Further processing of the request, including whether to terminate or continue, can be based on comparing the risk score to a predetermined threshold. If processing is continued, a virtual payment card linked to the primary cardholder account is generated. Next, the virtual card can be added as a payment method to a browser profile of the individual on a network-accessible computing resource. Subsequently, the authorized user can access the virtual card to make online shopping payments with a web browser personalized with the browser profile.

Abstract: Example embodiments herein disclose systems and methods for the secure cryptographic authentication of contactless cards by distributed entities. In an example embodiment, a distributed network authentication system can comprises a client node and a distributed ledger node in data communication with the client node, wherein the distributed ledger can contain a database storing a mapping. The client node can receive, from a client device, an authentication request, and responsive to the authentication request, transmit, to the distributed ledger node, a query. The distributed ledger node can receive, from the client node, the query, submit the query to the database, receive, from the database responsive to the query, an identification of at least one selected from the group of a validation node and a validation node address, and transmit, to the client node, the identification.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable split communication routing. A communication request associated with an electronic activity is received, the communication request specifying a virtual token and a data content, where the virtual token is a proxy for multiple actual data source profiles. A split rule defining a proportion of the data content to be attributed to each actual data source profile is determined. A security score is determined based on each actual data source profile and each proportion of the data content. The communication request is authorized based on the security score exceeding a threshold security score and access to the proportion of the data content in each actual data source profile is enabled. Each proportion of the data content is consolidated into a single response, and the electronic activity is executed with the single response.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include aspects that relate to authentication of contactless interactions. Identifying information can be provided from multiple sources. A chip-embedded card can be registered to an individual and include identifying information associated with the information. During a contactless transaction, identifying information can be acquired. An individual's identity can be validated based on identifying information. A chip-embedded card can be read by a card reader at a particular location providing physical presence information. In one instance, identifying information from the chip-embedded card can be compared to other identifying information to determine whether there is a match or mismatch. A confidence score can be computed based on the amount and type of information provided. An individual's identity can be validated when the confidence score satisfies a threshold.
