    Abstract: Example methods and apparatus for combining electronic payment and rewards redemption at retail points of sale are disclosed. A point of sale (POS) system may be configured to facilitate contactless payments while securing customer payment data. When a customer with a payment application installed on a mobile device initiates a transaction, the application obtains reference data associated with a customer account from an account services server of the POS. The reference data is then passed from the application of the mobile device to a POS terminal, such as by near field communication. Upon receiving the token, the POS terminal obtains customer payment data from the account services server and rewards program data for the customer from a rewards program server. Available rewards may be automatically applied prior to processing payment using the payment data to complete the contactless payment transaction.

    Abstract: A scheme for identifying wireless devices by capturing out-of-band information in addition to in-band information from wireless devices for enabling accurate classification of wireless devices. Both the in-band and out-of-band spectrum emissions of the received signal are used to capture hardware signatures and features. These hardware signatures are used to discriminate different wireless devices uniquely and efficiently, even when the devices have the same hardware with significantly reduced distortions. The out-of-band information can be extracted using radios with software defined capabilities. Deep learning-based device classification technique is applied that uses IQ samples collected from the RF signals to efficiently identify and classify high-performing transmitters that have the same, minimally distorted hardware components.

  • Patent number: 11907936
    Abstract: A method for securing a split private key (such as used with a cryptocurrency or other non-custodial electronic wallet) amongst a password, biometrics, and a social service. The process may use a sharding scheme such as Shamir's Secret Sharing to ensure that multiple key shards must be obtained before the entire private key can be obtained. The user may select the number of shards required to retrieve the private key thereby controlling the security of the account. An additional shard may be held on an encrypted server and allows for account recovery even while maintaining non-custodial ownership of the wallet.

  • Patent number: 11900359
    Abstract: The ELECTRONIC WALLET CHECKOUT PLATFORM APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“EWCP”) transform customer purchase requests triggering electronic wallet applications via EWCP components into electronic purchase confirmation and receipts. In one implementation, the EWCP receives a merchant payment request, and determines a payment protocol handler associated with the merchant payment request. The EWCP instantiates a wallet application via the payment protocol handler. The EWCP obtains a payment method selection via the wallet application, wherein the selected payment method is one of a credit card, a debit card, a gift card selected from an electronic wallet, and sends a transaction execution request for a transaction associated with the merchant payment request. Also, the EWCP receives a purchase response to the transaction execution request, and outputs purchase response information derived from the received purchase response.

  • Patent number: 11900371
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to methods, systems, and devices for replacing a token on a user device, such as a transaction card. The transaction card includes tokens representing an actual account identifier which is not visible on the transaction card. The transaction card may store a first token on a and include a digital display that displays a second token. When the first token or the second token is compromised, the compromised token is replaced without replacing the transaction card. When the second token is compromised, the compromised token is replaced with a new replacement second token using an electronic device. The replacement second token replaces the old second token on the digital display. After the second token is compromised and before the replacement second token is provisioned on the transaction card, the transaction card may still be used for transactions using other tokens provisioned on the card.

    Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for processing offline payments from a mobile wallet. A computing system may receive, from a financial institution system, an authentication request message comprising a first offline token. The computing system may determine that the mobile wallet application is not online and determine that the first offline toke comprises first offline token data that matches the first offline token reference data. The computing system may send to the financial institution system a first authentication message indicating that the first offline token is associated with the mobile wallet application.

  • Patent number: 11876897
    Abstract: A user terminal generates a first key pair and a second key pair, transmits a permission request including a public encryption key of the second key pair after electronically signing the permission request with a secret encryption key, and acquires, from permission information transmitted from a right-holder terminal, a content decryption key by using a secret decryption key of the second key pair and uses the content. The right-holder terminal stores a third key pair and the content decryption key, verifies the permission request received, and encrypts the content decryption key by using the public encryption key of the second key pair included in the permission request and transmits the permission information including the encrypted content decryption key after electronically signing the permission information with a secret encryption key of the third key pair. The permission request and the permission information are transmitted and received via a blockchain.

  • Patent number: 11854006
    Abstract: A method for paying in a motor vehicle having a transaction device involves providing transaction data relating to the payment to the payment transmitter. The transaction data including a receiver address of a payment receiver, a payment amount, a transmitter address of a payment transmitter located in the motor vehicle, and a private key belonging to the transmitter address. The provided transaction data is entered into the transaction device. The entered receiver address is transmitted to the payment receiver, which authenticates the transmitted receiver address. Only if the authenticated receiver address is classified as authentic does the method proceed. This involves signaling the successful authentication of the receiver address to the payment transmitter and transmitting the entered transaction data entered to the cryptocurrency computer network for carrying out the payment.

  • Patent number: 11842341
    Abstract: An approval request is transmitted for a cryptoasset transaction in accordance with a policy stored in a hardware security module (“HSM”). The policy specifies at least one specific approver required for approval of the cryptoasset transaction. The approval request is transmitted to a computer device associated with the specific approver and is configured to cause the computer device to prompt the specific approver to approve the cryptoasset transaction. A security key is received from a hardware security token associated with the specific approver. The security key indicates an approval of the cryptoasset transaction. A risk analysis module authenticates an identity of the specific approver based on the security key. Responsive to the authenticating of the identity of the specific approver, the HSM signs the cryptoasset transaction using a cryptographic key stored in the HSM.
