  • Patent number: 11972431
    Abstract: Systems and methods include registering use of a virtual certification number (VCN) at a secure entity by receiving, at an external gateway, a registration request comprising an external request code and a primary account number (PAN), wherein the external request code is unique to the secure entity, determining that the external request code is an unregistered external request code, receiving a tokenized PAN based on the PAN, receiving an account identifier by applying the tokenized PAN to a certification mechanism tool application programing interface (API), generating a certification mechanism reference identifier by encrypting a certification mechanism associated with the account identifier and the tokenized PAN, updating a database to associate the certification mechanism reference identifier with the external request code, and transmitting, via the external gateway, a registration authentication to an external entity, the registration authentication comprising the external request code.

  • Patent number: 11966459
    Abstract: Systems and methods include providing virtual certification number (VCN) authorizations to an external entity by receiving a plurality of secure entity global authorizations comprising global VCN authorizations and global primary account number (PAN) authorizations, identifying the global VCN authorizations, identifying a subset of the global VCN authorizations, each of the subset of the global VCN authorizations corresponding to an external entity authorization, comparing the subset of global VCN authorizations to previously provided VCN authorizations, to identify an unsent VCN authorization, storing a transmittable unsent VCN authorization based on the unsent VCN authorization, providing an unsent authorization indication to the external entity, receiving, from the external entity, a request for the unsent VCN authorization based on providing the unsent authorization indication to the external entity, and providing the transmittable unsent VCN authorization to the external entity, based on storing the tran

  • Publication number: 20240078560
    Abstract: Systems and methods for triggering a virtual certification number (VCN) generation for use at a source include receiving a VCN generation request from an external entity, the VCN generation request comprising an external request code, external risk signals, and one or more source data for the source, verifying a registration authentication of an account associated with the external request code by comparing the external request code to a database entry, identifying a certification mechanism reference identifier associated with the external request code based on verifying the registration authentication, generating a risk authentication based on a risk analysis conducted using the external risk signals and the external request code, identifying a source identifier based on the one or more source data, and generating the VCN based on the certification mechanism reference identifier and the source identifier.

  • Patent number: 10776444
    Abstract: The methods and systems described herein improve upon existing deep linking concepts, by creating links directed to a feature registry which may then serve the user's need of selecting and accessing a given feature. For example, the system may receive, at a server, a feature registry request from a feature registry application on a local device, wherein the feature registry request is generated by the local device in response to a user selection of hyperlinked content associated with the feature registry application. In response to receiving the feature registry request, the system may determine, at the server, whether a feature is available on a feature registry.
