Described processes include: determining portions of instances of a cryptographic token to be allocated to record providers, like providers of an asset indicated by a record, wherein: the portions are determined based on network effects associated with the records the record provider supplied on performance of a computer-implemented network in which both record providers and record consumers participate, patterns indicative of inorganic consumption may be determined from one or more of interactions of individual consumers, interactions of collections of consumers, or consumer interactions in the aggregate for a given provider or record; and the effects on network performance are adjusted responsive to designation of one or more entities as exhibiting inauthentic behavior; and appending to a distributed ledger, records indicating the respective portions, and adjustments, are allocated to record providers.

Disclosed are methods and apparatuses for creating a verified mutually authenticated transaction between a service provider and an on-line identity for a physical client person. A dynamic optical mark may be displayed on a device screen where the physical client person is using a web service. The dynamic optical mark may be recognized via scanning the dynamic optical mark by a personal mobile device equipped with a camera. The verified mutually authenticated transaction between the service provider and the on-line identity for the physical client person may be used for sharing personal data of the physical client person by using out-of-band optical mark recognition of the dynamic optical mark. The verified mutually authenticated transaction may be initiated with a time-limited one-time password comprising a sequence of numbers encoded in the dynamic optical mark.

Described are a signature verification method, apparatus, and system. The method includes: encrypting a third-party payment identifier and payment information according to a first key to obtain a first signature; encrypting a third-party client identifier and first signature information according to a second key to obtain a second signature; and providing the third-party client identifier, the first signature information, and the second signature to a client server for verification.

A method for utilizing a registration authority to facilitate a certificate signing request is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, a registration authority computer may receive a certificate signing request associated with a token requestor. The registration authority may authenticate the identity of the token requestor and forward the certificate signing request to a certificate authority computer. A token requestor ID and a signed certificate may be provided by the certificate authority computer and forwarded to the token requestor. The token requestor ID may be utilized by the token requestor to generate digital signatures for subsequent token-based transactions.

Embodiments of the invention relate to systems and methods for efficiently provisioning mobile devices with personalization data. For some embodiments, a method is disclosed comprising receiving a request for provisioning comprising device information for a mobile device and user authentication information for a user, generating a partial personalization script, an activation script, and a deletion script using the device information, sending the partial personalization script, the activation script, and the deletion script to an application provider computer, wherein the application provider computer initiates execution of the partial personalization script on the mobile device, authenticating the user authentication information, and sending an activation message to the application provider computer, wherein the application provider computer initiates execution of the activation script.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for providing an account token to an external entity during the lifecycle of a payment transaction. In some embodiments, an external entity may be a merchant computer requesting authorization of a payment message. In other embodiments, the external entity may be a support computer providing a payment processing network or a merchant support functions.

The invention relates to an enabling card as well as a system and method for completing a financial transaction in a P.O.S. terminal comprising: a processor carried by the enabling card for: establishing a connection with a mobile device; receiving secure information from a mobile device and generating a digital signal; a coil carried by the enabling card for generating a magnetic field in response to the digital signal to simulate the swipe of card in the P.O.S. terminal and complete the financial transaction.

A tampering verification system and method for financial institution certificates are based on blockchain and verify whether one of the financial institution certificates has been tampered with by comparing the contents of the financial institution certificate at the point of first being generated by a financial institution and at the point of client issue.

A communication device may receive input from a user and initiate generation of an interaction token in response. This interaction token can be used by the communication device in order search for a specific resource provider computer from among one or more resource provider computers, and to initiate a resource transfer between the user and a specific resource provider, mediated by a token provider computer.

Systems and methods for utilizing a mnemonic to communicate sensitive data to an agent are disclosed. In aspects, a computer-implemented method comprises: establishing a telephone connection between a caller and an agent; entering an encryption key received from the agent into a mnemonic application of the computer device to permute an algorithm of the mnemonic application; receiving sensitive data in the form of one or more alphabetic, numeric or alpha-numeric sequence; initiating the mnemonic application to generate a mnemonic of the sensitive data using the encryption key, wherein the mnemonic is a sequence of words representing the sensitive data; displaying the mnemonic to the caller; and conveying audio communication of the mnemonic to the agent through the telephone connection to enable remote decoding of the mnemonic back into the at least one sensitive number sequence.
