  • Publication number: 20250111378
    Abstract: An electronic device may provide a credential to another electronic device. The credential may allow the other electronic device to perform a transaction. In some instances, the electronic devices may be in proximity to each other, and the proximity may be used to authorize use of the credential on the other device. Further, a user of the electronic device that provides the credential may set one or more conditions on the use of credential by the other device.

  • Publication number: 20250053637
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating frictionless credential provisioning on a user computing device are provided. Special “frictionless tokens” (e.g., ownership tokens) may be generated for each existing credential in a user's digital wallet. Such tokens may be stored in a user's AE locker (e.g., iCloud keychain) and synchronized across the user's devices using any suitable security features (e.g., using any suitable secure enclave processor (“SEP”)-based encryption). Such a token, as may be stored in a device's SEP, may be configured only to be read on that physical device. In this manner, the user may no longer need provide further proof of ownership of a credential or be hassled by passing any other challenge, but, instead, the additional security may be achieved using the ownership token, which may use the user's AE or device passcode in association with the user's physical device (and its SEP).

  • Patent number: 12086769
    Abstract: To facilitate conducting a financial transaction via wireless communication between an electronic device and another electronic device, the electronic device determines a unique transaction identifier for the financial transaction based on financial-account information communicated to the other electronic device. The financial-account information specifies a financial account that is used to pay for the financial transaction. Moreover, the unique transaction identifier may be capable of being independently computed by one or more other entities associated with the financial transaction (such as a counterparty in the financial transaction or a payment network that processes payment for the financial transaction) based on the financial-account information communicated by the portable electronic device.

  • Patent number: 12063513
    Abstract: A secure trusted service manager provider may include at least one processor configured to provide, to an electronic device, a first script to provision an applet instance corresponding to a third party server, the script including a public key corresponding to the third party server. The at least one processor may be configured to receive, from the electronic device, an encrypted symmetric key and provide the encrypted symmetric key to the third party server, the symmetric key being encrypted with the public key. The at least one processor may be configured to receive, from the third party server, an encrypted data element corresponding to a transaction to be performed by the applet instance, the encrypted data element being encrypted with the symmetric key, generate a second script that includes the encrypted data element and provide, to the electronic device, the second script that includes the encrypted data element.

  • Patent number: 12056672
    Abstract: A device implementing a user configurable direct transfer system may include at least one processor configured to receive, from an electronic device associated with a user account, a request to establish a type of transfer between a first account associated with an entity and a second account associated with the user account, the request including an entity identifier and a transfer type identifier. The at least one processor may be further configured to generate a transfer alias that is stored in association with the entity identifier, a second account identifier, and the transfer type identifier, and provide the transfer alias to the electronic device and a server associated with the entity to facilitate the type of transfer between the first account associated with the entity and the second account associated with the user account.

  • Patent number: 11374926
    Abstract: Representative embodiments described herein set forth techniques for optimizing large-scale deliveries of electronic Subscriber Identity Modules (eSIMs) to mobile devices. Specifically, instead of generating and assigning eSIMs when mobile devices are being activated—which can require significant processing overhead—eSIMs are pre-generated with a basic set of information, and are later-assigned to the mobile devices when they are activated. This can provide considerable benefits over conventional approaches that involve generating and assigning eSIMs during mobile device activation, especially when new mobile devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets, etc.) are being launched and a large number of eSIM assignment requests are to be fulfilled in an efficient manner.

  • Patent number: 11250421
    Abstract: An electronic device may attempt to provision an unprovisioned credential, such as a payment instrument, by providing a message with information specifying the unprovisioned credential to a first computer. This first computer may be associated with a first region in which: a first provisioned credential of a user is supported, the user has registered, and the user can conduct transactions based on the first provisioned credential. However, the unprovisioned credential may be supported in or otherwise associated with a second region. Consequently, the electronic device may receive, from the first computer, redirect information that specifies a second computer associated with the second region. In response, the electronic device can provide the message to the second computer. Further, the electronic device can communicate provisioning information for the unprovisioned credential with the second computer, so the credential can be provisioned.
