Publication number: 20160197889Abstract: The present invention relates generally to facilitating secure voice and data communication by way of a commercially available communication device (i.e., smartphone/smartdevice). Specifically, the device and system for pairing a specialized cryptographic device with a non-specialized communication device, wherein the two devices engage in bidirectional communication to facilitate encryption of voice and data for secure transmission over a network. While providing the sensitive cryptographic features for secure communications, the cryptographic device further implements and enforces security policies for the communication device by way if an intermediary native application executed at the communication device. The encryption device is suitably designed to be carried discreetly and may be used in conjunction with a commercially available communication device.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2016Publication date: July 7, 2016Inventors: Randolph Best, Rinaldo Spinella, James Morris

Publication number: 20160180320Abstract: In a purchase transaction, a shopping mobile customer device operated by a shopping customer sends transaction information to a payment gateway and sends a beacon signal containing a transaction identifier to a paying mobile customer device operated by a paying customer who may be the same or different from the shopping customer. The paying mobile customer device sends the transaction identifier and payment information corresponding to a customer payment account to the payment gateway. The payment gateway applies the transaction identifier to access the transaction information and sends purchase information based on the transaction information to the paying mobile customer device which displays the purchase information to the paying customer, obtains an indication of assent to pay for the item and sends a confirmation of the assent to the payment gateway. Upon receiving the confirmation of assent, the payment gateway processes the purchase transaction based on the payment account information.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2014Publication date: June 23, 2016Applicant: APRIVA, LLCInventors: Michael S. Klingen, Rinaldo A. Spinella

Publication number: 20140365366Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a system and device for expanding the utility of remote payment technologies by way of a remote transaction card reader and keypad for the entry of an account PIN. More specifically, the device moves much of the functionality required for mobile payments away from a mobile card accepting appliance (e.g., a smartphone equipped with a card reader) to the disparate device. This arrangement isolates the processes of reading a transaction card a verifying an entered PIN into a secure tamper resistant device that communicates with a communication device (e.g., smartphone) by way of a secure channel on a wireless network. This arrangement provides for greater security and convenience for processing credit card and debit card based transactions, as the collection and processing of sensitive data is separated from the commercially available smartdevice, which inherently lacks sufficient security.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2013Publication date: December 11, 2014Inventor: Rinaldo A. Spinella
