    Abstract: This application discloses a method implemented at a server to facilitate secure offline transactions. The server receives, from a client device, an authorization request that includes a user identifier, first financial account information and a secure code. The server authenticates the authorization request, and sends a first transaction approval to the client device. Then, in accordance with the information received in the authorization request, the server facilitates a secure transaction between the client device and a point-of-sale (POS) machine while the client device is offline. Specifically, the server receives, from the POS machine, a transaction request that includes at least the user identifier and the security code. The server retrieves the first financial account information from a memory according to the user identifier and the security code, performs a transaction operation associated with the first financial account information, and sends a second transaction approval to the POS machine.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for facilitating access to a network (e.g., the Internet) are disclosed herein. A server with processor(s) and memory receives a request from a client device to download a network access configuration file, where the network access configuration file is configured to enable access to the Internet via a respective Internet access point. In accordance with the received request, the server identifies a first account in a social networking platform corresponding to a provider of the respective Internet access point. The server determines a relationship between the first account and a second account corresponding to a user of the client device in the social networking platform. In accordance with a first determination that the relationship satisfies one or more predetermined access criteria, the server provides the network access configuration file to the client device.
