  • Publication number: 20260162111
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 12647271
    Abstract: Example embodiments of systems and methods for data transmission system between transmitting and receiving devices are provided. In an embodiment, each of the transmitting and receiving devices can contain a master key. The transmitting device can generate a diversified key using the master key, protect a counter value and encrypt data prior to transmitting to the receiving device, which can generate the diversified key based on the master key and can decrypt the data and validate the protected counter value using the diversified key.

  • Publication number: 20260141375
    Abstract: Account registration using a contactless card. A payment application executing on a device may receive a request to generate a payment account using a contactless card. The payment application may receive encrypted data from the contactless card and transmit the encrypted data to a server associated with the contactless card. The device may receive a push notification from the server and open an account application associated with the contactless card responsive to selection of the push notification. The account application may receive confirmation to generate the payment account using the contactless card and transmit the confirmation to the server. The device may open the payment application responsive to receiving verification of the encrypted data from the server. The payment application may fill form fields with account data received from the server and generate the payment account using the account data received from the server filled into the form fields.

  • Patent number: 12626241
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20260111504
    Abstract: Systems and methods for unlocking a user experience are provided. A method can include receiving, via a short-range communication antenna of a mobile device, encrypted data from a contactless card, successfully decrypting the encrypted data to authenticate the contactless card, receiving, via the short-range communication antenna of the mobile device, a uniform resource locator (URL) from the contactless card, determining, using machine learning, one or more functions most likely desired by a user of the mobile device, and dynamically redirecting the URL to a website or a mobile application on the mobile device for performing the one or more functions most likely desired by the user of the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 12597012
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, computer-readable media, and methods are provided for activating a contactless card. A server may transmit, to a web browser on a client device, a web page. The server may receive, from the web browser, a request to activate a contactless card, the request including a cryptogram. The server may decrypt the cryptogram based on a key associated with the contactless card. The server may transition, based on the decryption of the cryptogram, the contactless card from an inactive payment state to an active payment state. The server may transmit, to the web page and based on the transition of the contactless card from the inactivated payment state to the activated payment state, an indication to activate a payment applet of the contactless card.

  • Publication number: 20260066946
    Abstract: In some implementation, a device may execute a web-browsing application installed on the device. The device may scan, by a near-field communication (NFC) reader of the device and in connection with the web-browsing application, an NFC tag of an interaction card associated with an account of a user. The device may receive, from the interaction card, data associated with the account of the user. The device may store the data as coded data in the web-browsing application. The device may generate a uniform resource locator (URL) associated with a partial application having reduced functionality. The URL may include one or more URL parameters containing the coded data. The device may launch the partial application based on a user interaction with a hyperlink associated with the URL. The partial application may parse the URL parameter(s) and may decode the coded data to be used by the partial application.

  • Publication number: 20250301294
    Abstract: An automated method is provided for initiating a transaction function in a transaction processing device. The method comprises establishing near field communication between the transaction processing device and an NFC transmitting device having an associated tag identifier and receiving NFC information including the tag identifier. The transaction processing device transmits the NFC information to a merchant processor and receives from the merchant processor a tag rule communication including an instruction to carry out a transaction function associated with the tag identifier or a request to associate a new transaction function with the tag identifier. Responsive to receiving an instruction to carry out a transaction function associated with the tag identifier, the transaction processing device executes the transaction function.
