At least one node of the plurality of nodes is configured to determine whether a token has satisfied a work requirement. The work requirement represents participation of performing work within the blockchain network. The at least one node is further configured to approve a transaction as a function of determining that the work requirement has been satisfied and, to disapprove the transaction as a function of determining that the work requirement has not been satisfied. By enabling the transaction to be approved based on a work requirement, the token, for example, can be authenticated as having an inherent functional value. In this way, the blockchain network or token exchange can attest to the token not being a security, which would be subject to federal securities and regulations.

  • Patent number: 11853979
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media utilized in remote math based currency (MBC) transactions. One method includes receiving, from a customer computer system, a token generation request associated with a remote MBC transaction including an amount of MBC funds to transfer, wherein the token generation request includes an identifier of a recipient computer system, and generating and transmitting, to the customer computer system, a token embedded with at least an MBC account number of the customer computer system. The method further includes receiving, from the recipient computer system, the token, wherein the recipient computer system is associated with a recipient MBC account, and creating a first and second public and private key pair. The method further includes transmitting the first public and private key pair to a recipient account destination of the recipient MBC account, and updating a pooled MBC account database with the second public and private key pair.

  • Patent number: 11847652
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention involve using biometric templates to wirelessly authenticate individuals. In one embodiment, a mobile device may generate a first biometric template and a first public value from a first biometric sample of a user and generate a first cryptographic key by passing the first biometric template to a fuzzy extractors generate function. An access device may generate a second biometric template from a second biometric sample of the user, generate a second secret cryptographic key by passing the second biometric template and the first public value to the fuzzy extractors reproduce function, encrypt the second biometric template with the second secret cryptographic key, and broadcast the encrypted template to a plurality of nearby mobile devices including the mobile device. If the mobile device is able to decrypt the encrypted template with the first cryptographic key, the access device can associate the user with the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 11842037
    Abstract: In some implementations, a user device may present, on a user interface (UI) associated with a user account, a first UI element. The user device may detect a user interaction, with the user device, indicating the first UI element. The user device may present, on the UI and based on the user interaction, a second UI element, which increases in length in a first direction from a start point, along a closed path around the first UI element and ending at the start point, while the user interaction is being detected. The second UI element completes the closed path when an interaction duration satisfies a duration threshold, which indicates a confirmation of a request for an action associated with the user account. The duration threshold is based on one or more parameters associated with one or more of the action, the user account, or the user interaction.

  • Patent number: 11836559
    Abstract: A transaction card may power on the transaction card using electric current induced from an interaction of the transaction card with an electromagnetic field. The transaction card may establish a communication with a device. The communication may indicate that the transaction card has powered. The transaction card may receive, from the device, a set of instructions to configure a set of applets on the transaction card after notifying the device that the transaction card has powered on. The set of applets to be configured may be related to completing one or more different transactions. The set of applets to be configured may be different than another set of applets already configured on the transaction card. The transaction card may configure the set of applets on the transaction card according to the set of instructions after receiving the set of instructions.
