Publication number: 20240303646Abstract: A method and system may provide a secure credit card payment service which allows a merchant to store credit cards without storing credit card data on merchant servers. The customer, via a web-enabled device, transmits a request to register a credit card and receives from the merchant server, a credit card registration webpage where the customer may provide credit card data and customer data. In response to receiving the credit card data and the customer data, the web-enabled device transmits the credit card data to a token server that stores the credit card data and receives a token from the token server. In response to receiving the token, the web-enabled device transmits the token and the customer data to the merchant server for storage and processing subsequent credit card payment transactions.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2024Publication date: September 12, 2024Inventors: Ryan Chambers, Anthony Martin, Dana R.

Publication number: 20240303651Abstract: In an embodiment, a cryptographic token with usage limitations is issued, via a first issuer contract on a first distributed ledger, to a user account. The cryptographic token is transferred from the user account to a first mediation contract. A first transaction that is associated with a transfer of the cryptographic token from the first mediation contract to a second mediation contract on a second distributed ledger, is detected. A second transaction that is associated with a use of the cryptographic token on the second distributed ledger is detected. A request to the first issuer contract on the first distributed ledger is issued to determine whether the second transaction satisfies the usage limitations. A Verification result that indicates that the second transaction satisfies the usage limitations is received. A digital asset is transferred to a seller account on a third distributed ledger based on the received verification result.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2023Publication date: September 12, 2024Applicant: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Takuma TAKEUCHI, Shingo FUJIMOTO

Publication number: 20240303652Abstract: The present invention relates to a digital transaction between a sender (S) and a recipient (R), wherein the digital transaction is certified by a central bank (B), while preserving the privacy of the transaction (T). In particular the transaction (T) is based on a first sender serial number (SSNi) and a first receiver serial number, both signed by the central bank (B) and dedicated to the transaction. The transaction is in addition based on commitment to a value, which is encrypted with a blind factor (BTx) and involves sender zero-knowledge proof (zKs) and receiver zero-knowledge proof (zKr) so that the central bank (B) has no knowledge of the value of the transaction neither of the identity of the sender and the receiver. The present invention also relates to a system and to a digital currency allowing such a digital transaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2022Publication date: September 12, 2024Applicant: ETH ZurichInventors: Srdjan Capkun, Kari Kostiainen, Karl Wüst
