Methods, systems, and storage media are described for processing point of sale (POS) transactions. In embodiments, a computing device may receive a transaction initiation, and provide a selection of a payment credential to be used to process a POS transaction. The computing device includes a trusted execution environment to process the POS transaction in response to the selection of the payment credential. The trusted execution environment may comprise a payment credential storage unit to store payment credentials and a virtual POS terminal that may validate a merchant terminal associated with the transaction initiation, process the POS transaction using the selected payment credential to generate payment data, and encrypt the payment data. The computing device may communicate the encrypted payment data to a cloud POS service for further processing. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Various embodiments are directed to securely verifying an identity of a user who is requesting to add or link a financial instrument to a third-party digital wallet using one-tap contactless card authentication. The financial instrument may be added or linked to the third-party wallet in at least two scenarios: pull provisioning and push provisioning. In either provisioning scenarios, the user may be required to authenticate the financial instrument being added or linked by successfully verifying the identity of the user via the one-tap contactless card authentication at a banking application associated with the financial instrument.

Systems and methods for forward market purchase of machine resources are disclosed. An example transaction-enabling system may include a fleet of machines, each one of the fleet of machines having a resource requirement comprising at least one of a plurality of machine-related resources and a controller. The controller may include an intelligent agent circuit to aggregate data for the plurality of machine-related resources from at least one data source comprising an external data source or an internal data source; an expert system circuit to configure a purchase of at least one of the plurality of machine-related resources; and a machine resource acquisition circuit to automatically solicit the configured purchase of the at least one of the plurality of machine-related resources in a forward market for at least one resource of the plurality of machine-related resources.

The present disclosure describes transaction-enabling systems and methods. A system can include a facility having a core task and a controller. The controller may include a facility description circuit to interpret historical facility parameter values and corresponding outcome values. A facility prediction circuit operates an adaptive learning system to train a facility resource allocation circuit in response to the historical facility parameter values and corresponding outcome values. The facility description circuit further interprets a plurality of present state facility parameter values and the trained facility resource allocation circuit adjusts facility resource values in response.

A method, system, and computer program product generate, with a payment network, a first value (a) and a second value (g.sup.a), the second value (g.sup.a) generated based on the first value (a) and a generator value (g); generate, with the payment network, a plurality of random merchant numbers (m.sub.i) for a respective plurality of merchant banks; determine, with the payment network, a merchant product (M) based on a product of the plurality of random merchant numbers (m.sub.i); generate, with the payment network, a public key (pk.sub.i) based on the second value (g.sup.a), the merchant product (M), and the random merchant number (m.sub.i) and a random key (rk.sub.i) based on the merchant product (M) and the random merchant number (m.sub.i) for each respective merchant bank; and communicate, with the payment network, the public key (pk.sub.i) and the random key (rk.sub.i) to at least one respective merchant bank.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media configured to facilitate execution of transactions via a money transfer network are disclosed. During execution of the transactions, tokenized identity information may be utilized when exchanging transaction data between geographically distributed nodes of the money transfer network and the transactions are recorded to a distributed ledger maintained by the nodes. Smart contracts may be utilized to digitally sign transactions at various stages of transaction processing, such as at different stages of regulatory compliance validation and to authenticate the validity of the requested transaction (e.g., prevent double-spends). Utilizing tokenized identity information may reduce the likelihood that personally identifiable information (PII data) is obtained by or inadvertently provided to unauthorized third parties or systems. Additionally, the distributed ledger may record information in immutable records, thereby increasing the reliability and trustworthiness (e.g., for auditing purposes) of the data stored on the distributed ledger.

Methods and systems for secure storage and retrieval of information, such as private keys, useable to control access to a blockchain, include: receiving, in a cryptoasset custodial system, a request to authorize a staking operation associated with a blockchain, wherein the staking operation is associated with a private key of an asymmetric cryptographic key pair, the private key is usable to control ownership of a cryptoasset recorded in the blockchain, and the private key is securely held in the custodial system; performing, in response to the request, a portion of the proof-of-stake protocol in a hardware security module using logic designed for the protocol, wherein the logic in the hardware security module is configured to authorize the staking operation by digitally signing an associated staking transaction; and sending the digitally signed staking transaction to another computer to effect the staking operation on behalf of the user.

Presented are cryptographic digital assets for retail products, methods for making/using such cryptographic digital assets, and computing systems for generating, intermingling, and exchanging blockchain-protected products. A method for provisioning cryptographic digital assets associated with retail product transfers includes broadcasting notifications of a future transaction of a retail product, and receiving, over a distributed computing network from the computing devices of multiple users, requests to participate in the transaction. A select number of users is added to a virtual line associated with the retail product transaction; from the virtual line, a first user is selected to receive the retail product and a second user is selected to receive a cryptographic digital asset containing a digital retail product and a unique digital asset code. The cryptographic digital asset is transferred to the second user's digital wallet, and the unique digital asset code is recorded on a record block of a blockchain ledger.

A method including receiving, by a server computer, a request message from a token requestor computer on behalf of a user device. The request message comprising a first current token tracking value and a first function index value. The server computer can determine a second function index value. The server computer can then compare the first function index value to the second function index value. If the first function index value and the second function index value match, the server computer can determine a function based on the first function index value and a stored function table associated with the user device. The server computer can then determine a second current token tracking value based on the function, then compare the first current token tracking value to the second current token tracking value. The server computer can generate a response message in response to the comparing.

A system, method, device, and data platform for managing gaming data utilizing tokens. Gaming data associated with a player and one or more games are obtained. The gaming data is received by a data platform. The gaming data is inserted in a gaming profile. The gaming data is tokenized into one or more tokens. The gaming data is monetized based on preferences within the gaming profile.
