20130060647 | OVER THE AIR UPDATE OF PAYMENT TRANSACTION DATA STORED IN SECURE MEMORY - A system, apparatus, and method for processing payment transactions that are conducted using a mobile device that includes a contactless element, such as an integrated circuit chip. The invention enables the updating, correction or synchronization of transaction data maintained by an Issuer with that stored on the device. This is accomplished by using a wireless (cellular) network as a data communication channel for data provided by an Issuer to the mobile device, and is particularly advantageous in circumstances in which the contactless element is not presently capable of communication with a device reader or point of sale terminal that uses a near field communications mechanism. Data transferred between the mobile device and Issuer may be encrypted and decrypted to provide additional security and protect the data from being accessed by other users or applications. If encryption keys are used for the encryption and decryption processes, they may be distributed by a key distribution server or other suitable entity to a mobile gateway which participates in the data encryption and decryption operations. | 03-07-2013 |

20140207684 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PAYMENT AUTHORIZATION AND CARD PRESENTATION USING PRE-ISSUED IDENTITIES - Systems and methods for authenticating a party are disclosed. A transaction may be initiated between a relying party and a presenter. The relying party can send the presenter a message with transaction information and requirements for authentication. The presenter can forward the message to a third party, which can authenticate the presenter to the relying party. | 07-24-2014 |
20150019443 | SECURE REMOTE PAYMENT TRANSACTION PROCESSING - Embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods, apparatuses, computer readable media and systems for securely processing remote transactions. One embodiment of the invention is directed to a method of processing a remote transaction initiated by a mobile device comprising a server computer receiving a payment request including encrypted payment information. The encrypted payment information being generated by a mobile payment application of the mobile device and being encrypted using a third party key. The method further comprises decrypting the encrypted payment information using the third party key, determining a transaction processor public key associated with the payment information, and re-encrypting the payment information using the transaction processor public key. The method further comprises sending a payment response including the re-encrypted payment information to a transaction processor. The transaction processor decrypts the re-encrypted payment information using a transaction processor private key and initiates a payment transaction. | 01-15-2015 |
20150046339 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROVISIONING MOBILE DEVICES WITH PAYMENT CREDENTIALS - Embodiments are described that are directed to optimizing the provisioning of payment account credentials to mobile devices utilizing mobile wallets. In some embodiments, one of multiple provisioning schemes may be selectively chosen for payment account credential provisioning based upon a determined risk involved with a particular provisioning request. A low risk provisioning request leads to an immediate provisioning of a payment credential, whereas a provisioning request of high risk results in the provisioning request being denied. In some embodiments, medium risk provisioning requests will cause an additional user authentication to be performed before the payment account provisioning is finalized. The additional user authentication may occur using a separate communication channel than the channel in which the provisioning request was received. | 02-12-2015 |
20150052064 | Secure Remote Payment Transaction Processing Using a Secure Element - Embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods, apparatuses, computer readable media and systems for securely processing remote transactions. One embodiment of the invention is directed to a method of processing a remote transaction initiated by a mobile device. The method comprises receiving, by a mobile payment application on a secure memory of the mobile device, transaction data from a transaction processor application on the mobile device. The method further comprises validating that the transaction processor application is authentic and in response to validating the transaction processor application, providing encrypted payment credentials to the transaction processor application. The transaction processor application further initiates a payment transaction with a transaction processor server computer using the encrypted payment credentials. | 02-19-2015 |
20150073996 | Mobile Payment Application Provisioning And Personalization on a Mobile Device - Embodiments of the present invention are directed to systems and methods for providing a central entity that can provision mobile payment applications on mobile communication devices and personalize the mobile payment applications with consumer and account information. The personalization of the mobile payment application on the mobile communication device may include provisioning a payment account on the mobile payment application. The central entity may provision the account on the mobile payment application without interacting with the issuer during the provisioning of the account. The central entity may provision the account on the mobile communication device by decrypting, using a secure element key, encrypted payment account information received from the mobile communication device. The payment account information may be encrypted by a secure element of the mobile communication device using the same secure element key. | 03-12-2015 |
20150081554 | Systems and Methods for Managing Mobile Account Holder Verification Methods - Embodiments of the invention are directed to methods, apparatuses, computer readable media and systems for coordinating account holder verification methods among secure entity applications and wallet applications from different issuers, wallet providers, etc. on mobile devices. A common payment management application may be provided in a trusted execution environment associated with a mobile device to support secure entity applications (e.g., provisioned payment application instances in the trusted execution environment) and mobile wallet applications (e.g., provisioned on a memory of the mobile device) to coordinate account holder verification methods. The common payment management application may be accessible by both mobile applications and the secure entity applications. | 03-19-2015 |
20150088756 | Secure Remote Payment Transaction Processing Including Consumer Authentication - Embodiments of the invention are directed to methods, apparatuses, computer-readable media, and systems for securely processing remote transactions. One embodiment is directed to a method of processing a remote transaction initiated by a communication device. The method comprising a server computer receiving a payment request including encrypted payment information that is encrypted using a first key. The encrypted payment information including security information. The method further comprises decrypting the encrypted payment information using a second key, obtaining an authentication response value for the remote transaction from an authentication computer associated with an issuer, updating the decrypted payment information to include the authentication response value, re-encrypting the decrypted payment information using a third key, and sending a payment response including the re-encrypted payment information to a transaction processor. The transaction processor decrypting the re-encrypted payment information using a fourth key and initiating a payment transaction using the decrypted payment information. | 03-26-2015 |
