Publication number: 20260162111Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and apparatus for supplemental FIDO keys in a switching network authentication. The method includes receiving, at a switching node, encrypted data of a payment instrument via a relying party server, the encrypted data to verify an identity of a user account associated with the payment instrument. The switching node then routes the encrypted data to an authentication server for validation. After receiving a response from the authentication server indicating that the identity of the user account is verified, the method includes registering, by the switching node, the client ID with the at least one FIDO key. The client ID and FIDO key are stored in a data storage device for later access to validate the user account when sign in occurs again later on.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2024Publication date: June 11, 2026Applicant: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Kevin Osborn, Wayne Lutz, Edward Abdullah, David Ross

Patent number: 12626241Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media for secure generation of one-time passcodes using a contactless card. In one example, an operating system (OS) of a device may receive a uniform resource locator (URL) and a cryptogram from a contactless card. The OS may launch an application associated with the URL. The application may transmit the cryptogram to an authentication server. The application may receive a decryption result from the authentication server indicating the authentication server decrypted the cryptogram. Based on the decryption result, the application may request an OTP. The processor may receive an OTP from an OTP generator. The application may receive an input value and compare the input value to a copy of the OTP. The application may determine that the comparison results in a match, and display, based on the determination that the comparison results in the match, one or more attributes of the account.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2024Date of Patent: May 12, 2026Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Jason Ji, Jeffrey Rule, Colin Hart, Wayne Lutz
