In order to facilitate conducting a financial transaction via wireless communication between an electronic device (such as a smartphone) and another electronic device (such as another smartphone), a secure element in the electronic device may generate, using an encryption key associated with the secure element, a signed blob based on a transaction amount and a merchant identifier. Then, the electronic device communicates connection information between the electronic device and the other electronic device. Moreover, the electronic device may establish a connection between the electronic device and the other electronic device based on the connection information, and may concurrently provide the signed blob to the other electronic device. After receiving a signed transaction blob from the other electronic device using the connection (which includes information needed to conduct the financial transaction), the electronic device provides the information to a server to conduct the financial transaction.

Enhance authentication techniques may include receiving credential data of a secondary device by a primary device, generating a cryptogram using the credential data of the secondary device, and transmitting the cryptogram to an access device to request for authorization to use an account associated with a user of the primary device. The authorization can be granted based on verification of the cryptogram and an interaction activity pattern of interactions between the primary device and a set of communication devices including the secondary device.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a communication module, a memory configured to store payment information registered in a payment application, and a processor. The processor is configured to select at least one of a plurality of authentication servers based on the payment information, receive authentication information from the at least one authentication server by using the communication module, select at least one payment information of the payment information registered in the payment application based on a user input, select first authentication information, which corresponds to the selected payment information, from among the authentication information, and send second authentication information, which is generated based on the selected first authentication information, to the at least one authentication server corresponding to the selected first authentication information.

A method for transferring a credit rights certificate is provided, including: generating a target account address according to a debtor account address and a creditor account address in a credit rights certificate transfer request, the target account address being a temporary account address used for storing a credit rights certificate and based on a multi-digital-signature process; transferring a credit rights certificate corresponding to the credit rights certificate transfer request from the debtor account address to the target account address; and transferring the credit rights certificate from the target account address to the creditor account address based on a confirmation instruction from the creditor account address.

Methods and systems for a browser extension system are disclosed. In some embodiments, a browser extension server includes a communication device configured to communicate with a first computing device executing a browser extension application and a web browser application and a second computing device executing an authentication application. The browser extension server further includes a memory storing instructions, and a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform operations. The operations may include receiving from the first computing device an indication of a financial service account associated with the first computing device, detecting a payment field in a web page provided by the computing device through the web browser application and, in response, generating a secure token mapped to the financial service account. The operations may further include sending the second computing device an authentication request, receiving an authentication response, and populating the payment field with the secure token.

Systems, methods and computer program products for allocation of resources based on event triggers are provided. As an example, the system receives a set of electronic guidelines outlining scheduled allocation of resources based on detection of trigger events, where the resources are transferred electronically from a source to a destination. The system parses the electronic guidelines into a set of event triggers associated with resource allocations and monitor activities associated events related to allocation resources. From the monitoring, the system identifies a triggering event in the activities that is associated with a resource allocation as defined in the electronic guidelines and transfers an allocation of the resources electronically from the source to the destination based on the triggering event.

Described herein are systems and methods in which more secure methods are provided for a connected device to conduct transactions. In accordance with embodiments of the disclosure, a transaction code is generated and provided to the connected device. The transaction code may be stored in association with the information for the transaction such that when the transaction code is received at a transaction processing server, the transaction processing server is configured to generate an authorization request that includes the transaction information. The authorization request may then be routed to an authorization server associated with an account maintained by the transaction processing server.

This post-paid process and system for disconnected terminals solves the problem of a disconnected terminal being able to perform post-paid operations securely, using an electronic device of the user to communicate with a central server which creates a token with a temporal validity that serves to activate a compound of the disconnected terminal and, optionally, additional hardware. All operations performed in the terminal are locked to make it impossible to alter the data and signed with a cryptographic key before using the client device as transportation for the operations block to be processed in the central server and charged.

A communication network for providing a distributed ledger has at least one node configured to provide a distributed ledger function to other nodes.

Some embodiments of the application disclose a method and apparatus for paying a fare. When a user takes a public transit means, the user terminal establishes an NFC connection with the fare-collecting device of the public transit means, the user terminal transmits the encrypted account ID of the user to the fare-collecting device, and the fare-collecting device may request a server to deduct the fare from the account of the user.
