    摘要: An external biometric reader and verification device for providing access control to a computing device, and associated methods, are disclosed. The external reader can store and verify biometrics under the control of the computing device and send identity verification messages to the computing device. One disclosed device includes a biometric reader communicatively connected to an external secure microcontroller. The external secure microcontroller stores a set of biometric data and a signing key. The signing key can be injected by a device manufacturer in a controlled key injection room in a manufacturing facility and can be used to sign a certificate. An operating system of the computing device can be programmed to send a request for the certificate, receive the certificate, and predicate control of access to the operating system using the verification messages on verification of the certificate.

    摘要: Systems, and associated methods, involving both a trusted and an untrusted device where sensitive data or keys are shared between those devices are disclosed. A disclosed method includes storing a key in a secure memory on a first device, receiving sensitive data via a user interface on a second device, generating a set of white box encryption instructions based on the key using a white box encryption generator on the first device, generating a complete data representation of the set of white box encryption instructions using a secure processor on the first device, transmitting the complete data representation from the first device to the second device, and encrypting the sensitive data using the complete data representation on the second device. The complete data representation is not Turing complete and is not executable with respect to the second device.

    摘要: Systems and methods for provisioning secure terminals for secure transactions are disclosed herein. A disclosed method includes generating a key using a key generator element on a secure terminal and sending a key validation request for the key from the secure terminal to a provisioning device. The method also includes parsing the key validation request and generating a key validation for the key and a trusted time stamp on the provisioning device. The method also includes sending, from the provisioning device, the key validation and the trusted time stamp to the secure terminal. The method also includes setting a clock on the secure terminal using the trusted time stamp and storing the key validation at the secure terminal.

    摘要: Methods and systems related to near field communication (NFC) front ends for point of sale terminals are disclosed. One point of sale system includes an applications microprocessor programmed to: (i) instantiate an operating system for the point of sale system and (ii) generate a set of data packets. The system also includes a discrete microcontroller communicatively coupled with the applications microprocessor and programmed to: (i) selectively operate in an unsecure mode and a secure mode; and (ii) filter, when operating in the unsecure mode, the set of data packets received from the applications microprocessor using a filter and a whitelist for the filter. The system also includes a near field communication front end communicatively coupled to the discrete microcontroller and an antenna, for transmitting a near field communication signal based on information from the set of data packets via the antenna.

    摘要: A dual mode payment interface device has a touch display and alternatively operates in a first mode and a second mode. The first mode provides access to a merchant system interface (MSI) on the touch display and provides access to a customer system interface (CSI) on the touch display. The second mode provides access to a CSI on the touch display and does not provide access to the MSI on the touch display. The system also includes a merchant display device having a second touch display. The merchant display device provides access to the MSI on the second touch display. The system also includes a wire that provides a communicative connection between the dual mode payment interface device and the merchant display device. The second mode is enabled by the communicative connection.

    摘要: Methods and systems related to the use of tokenization services in payment processing systems are disclosed. The methods and systems include token translation services, token maps used as the basis for customer data models, specific approaches for securing the token maps and associated data, and the efficient storage of the token maps and associated data to facilitate enhanced payments experiences and analytics. One method includes transmitting a tokenization request with an encrypted payment account number from a POS to a tokenization service, receiving a token from the tokenization service in response to the tokenization request, salting the token with data to produce a salted token, encrypting the salted token using a secure processor on the POS, mapping the encrypted salted token to the payment account number in a map, and storing the map and the encrypted salted token in a memory on the secure processor on the POS.

One disclosed method includes storing a device secret on a secure element in a first device, storing a mapping from the device secret to a device identifier of the first device on a cloud architecture, generating a pairing key using a first connection protocol key generator on the secure element and the device secret, and generating the pairing key using a second connection protocol key generator on the cloud architecture and the device secret. The method also includes transmitting the pairing key from the cloud architecture to a second device in response to receiving the device identifier, mutually authenticating the first and second device using the pairing key, and adding the secure connection to the inter-device connection using the pairing key as stored on the first device and as stored on the second device.
