  • Publication number: 20250156859
    Abstract: A tokenization system has a proxy server that is configured to receive a message having a token and a template identifier. The proxy server is configured to store a plurality of templates for indicating how messages are to be processed. When the message with a token is received, the proxy server is configured to decrypt the message and retrieve, from memory, a template identified by the template identifier. The template indicates a location of the token within the message, and the proxy server uses the template to identify the token within the message. The proxy server then replaces the token within the message with data represented by the token and encrypts the message prior to transmitting it to a destination. In some embodiments, the proxy server also processes card-present payment requests based on the plurality of templates.

  • Publication number: 20230353546
    Abstract: A computing device can generate an iFrame on a particular website hosted on a server. The computing device can receive payment data from the iFrame corresponding to a transaction on the particular website. The computing device can generate an eToken corresponding to the received payment data. The computing device can transmit the eToken to the server. The computing device can receive transaction data comprising the eToken and non-sensitive payment data corresponding to the transaction from the server. The computing device can determine the received payment data based on authenticating the eToken. The computing device can process the transaction.

  • Patent number: 11735844
    Abstract: An interconnect system includes various anti-backout latches that are movable between an engaged position and a disengaged position. When in the engaged position, the anti-backout latches can be configured to prevent an interconnect module, such as an optical transceiver, from becoming unmated from a host module. When in the disengaged position, the anti-backout latches permit the interconnect module to become unmated from a host module. Securement members are also disclosed that secure a heat sink to a module housing of the interconnect module.

  • Patent number: 11711350
    Abstract: A system for vaultless tokenization and encryption includes an iframe service for collecting data and a tokenization service for (de)tokenizing and encrypting/decrypting data. The system is accessible to users and partners that submit requests causing various functions to be executed by the system. The functions include, but are not limited to, providing (de)tokenization and/or encryption services, and managing and creating templates for iframe collection, (de)tokenization, and encryption/decryption. A template service facilitates generation of templates that parametrize collection of original data via served iframe elements, tokenization and/or encryption of original data, and detokenizing and/or decrypting tokens to recover original data. An iframe service is configured for providing a virtual terminal, an iframe that provides users direct access to (de)tokenization and/or decryption/encryption services.

  • Publication number: 20210390420
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a computer implemented method for use in self-optimising a complex time varying system, the method being performed in relation to a first model of the system. The first model is a weighted graph based model. The model comprises: nodes representing an element of the system and being associated with data records indicative of the properties of the element of the system; links connecting pairs of nodes, each link indicating the relationship between a pair of nodes. The method comprises: performing a query to determine a property of the system by performing a traversal along a path from a start node to an end node of the first graph via intermediate node(s) according to the links stored in a data storage structure, the traversal comprising collecting data records associated with each of the start and end node and determining the property of the system based on the data records.
