Abstract:
Disclosed are various embodiments for performing stateless verification of communication addresses. Encrypted verification data is generated for a user, including a communication address, an identifier of the user, a verification code, and a timestamp. The encrypted verification data is sent to the user, and the verification code is transmitted to the communication address. The encrypted verification data and the verification code are received from the user. The communication address is verified based at least in part on the verification code received from the user and the encrypted verification data received from the user.
Abstract:
Disclosed are various embodiments for facilitating gift campaigns in association with a social networking system. A computing device may identify a user of a social networking system that is associated with a recipient for a gift campaign. An invitation for the user to participate in the gift campaign can be transmitted by the computing device. The computing device may identify a product as a suggested gift for the gift campaign. In addition, the computing device may generate content for a network page for the social networking system, and the network page can include a user interface container in which the product is represented. The computing device may also obtain a selection of the product made via the network page and perform a transaction to order the product for the recipient.
Abstract:
Disclosed are various embodiments for performing stateless verification of communication addresses. Encrypted verification data is generated for a user account, including a communication address and a first verification code, and a timestamp. The encrypted verification data is sent to a client, and the verification code is transmitted to the communication address. The encrypted verification data and a second verification code are received from the client. The communication address is verified in response to observing that the first verification code from the encrypted verification data matches the second verification code.
