    Abstract: A device for controlled identity credential release may include at least one processor configured to receive a request to release an identity credential of a user, the identity credential being stored on the device. The at least one processor may be further configured to authenticate the user associated with the identity credential. The at least one processor may be further configured to, responsive to the authentication, provide at least a portion of the identity credential, such as for display and/or to a terminal device over a direct wireless connection. The at least one processor may be further configured to cause the electronic device to enter a locked state and/or to remain in a locked state, responsive to providing the at least the portion of the identity credential.

    Abstract: If a user loses an electronic device that has the capability to conduct financial transactions, the user may report that the electronic device is lost using a lost-device software application to a management electronic device associated with a provider of the electronic device. In response to receiving this information, a disabling command is sent to a payment network associated with the financial account of the user to temporarily disable use of the electronic device to conduct the financial transactions. In particular, the electronic device may include a secure element that stores a payment applet for a financial account, and the disabling command may disable a mapping from a virtual identifier for the financial account to a financial primary account number. Subsequently, if the user finds the electronic device, the user may re-enable the capability (and, thus, the mapping) by providing authentication information to the electronic device.

    Abstract: A device for wireless terminal authentication may include at least one processor configured to receive, from a wireless terminal device, a request for user information, the request comprising a certificate corresponding to the wireless terminal device. The at least one processor may be further configured to verify the certificate based at least in part on a public key stored on the electronic device. The at least one processor may be further configured to, when the certificate is verified, determine whether the certificate indicates that the wireless terminal device is authorized to receive the requested user information. The at least one processor may be further configured to transmit, to the wireless terminal device, the requested user information when the certificate indicates that the wireless terminal device is authorized to receive the requested user information.

    Abstract: Methods for operating a portable electronic device to conduct a mobile payment transaction at a merchant terminal are provided. The electronic device may verify that the current user of the device is indeed the authorized owner by requiring the current user to enter a passcode. If the user is able to provide the correct passcode, the device is only partly ready to conduct a mobile payment. In order for the user to fully activate the payment function, the user may have to supply a predetermined payment activation input such as a double button press that notifies the device that the user intends to perform a financial transaction in the immediate future. The device may subsequently activate a payment applet for a predetermined period of time during which the user may hold the device within a field of the merchant terminal to complete a near field communications based mobile payment transaction.
