The present invention addresses the problem of realizing a tamper-proof and intrusion-proof file transmitting and receiving means between an Internet of Things (IoT) device and a server. A file transmitting and receiving system comprises a server configured to encrypt a file addressed to a data processing apparatus and transmit the encrypted file to a network, a network connection terminal configured to receive the file from the network, a two-port storage apparatus having two I/O ports and the data processing apparatus, wherein the only function of a first I/O port of the two-port storage apparatus is to write data from the network connection terminal to the two-port storage apparatus, the only functions of a second I/O port are to decrypt the data written to the two-port storage apparatus and to cause the decrypted data to be read by the data processing apparatus, or to delete unnecessary files, and the functions of the two I/O ports are determined by hardware or firmware built into or coupled directly to the two-port storage apparatus.

A cypher system includes a plurality of hardware computers, each hardware computer including a photoelectric fusion processor that includes at least one of (i) a Y gate circuit configured to combine optical signals, (ii) an optical switching circuit configured to switch optical signal paths based on electrical signals, or (iii) a phase modulator configured to modulate a phase of an optical signal. The photoelectric fusion processor is configured to perform optical operation processing and perform an encryption operation including an exclusive OR operation in which two or more bit values are given as inputs, and a nonlinear operation in which two or more bit values are given as inputs.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems pertaining to the verification of portable consumer devices are disclosed. In one implementation, a verification token is communicatively coupled to a computer by a USB connection so as to use the computer's networking facilities. The verification token reads identification information from a user's portable consumer device (e.g., credit card) and sends the information to a validation entry over a communications network using the computer's networking facilities. The validation entity applies one or more validation tests to the information that it receives from the verification token. If a selected number of tests are passed, the validation entity sends a device verification value to the verification token, and optionally to a payment processing network. The verification token may enter the device verification value into a CVV field of a web page appearing on the computer's display, or may display the value to the user using the computer's display.

A method is disclosed. The method includes receiving, from a user device via near field communications, a cryptogram, the cryptogram associated with a primary account number. The method includes transmitting, by the computer, to a server computer over a communications network comprising the Internet or a cellular phone network, a request for dynamic account information associated with the primary account number, the request including the cryptogram, wherein the server computer receives the cryptogram and then obtains and sends the dynamic account information to the computer. The method includes receiving, from the server computer over the communications network comprising the Internet or the cellular phone network, the dynamic account information. The method includes conducting, with a merchant computer, a payment transaction using the dynamic account information.
