    Abstract: In order to validate a user to facilitate conducting a high-valued financial transaction via wireless communication between an electronic device (such as a smartphone) and another electronic device (such as a point-of-sale terminal), the electronic device may authenticate the user prior to the onset of the high-valued financial transaction. In particular, a secure enclave processor in a processor may provide local validation information that is specific to the electronic device to a secure element in the electronic device when received local authentication information that is specific to the electronic device (such as a biometric identifier of the user) matches stored authentication information. Moreover, an authentication applet in the secure element may provide the local validation information to an activated payment applet in the secure element. This may enable the payment applet to conduct the high-valued financial transaction via wireless communication, such as near-field communication.

    Abstract: An electronic device (such as a cellular telephone) automatically installs and personalizes updates to an applet on a secure element in the electronic device. In particular, when a digitally signed update package containing the update is received from an updating device (such as a server), the secure element identifies any previous versions of the applet installed on the secure element. If there are any previously installed versions, the secure element verifies the digital signature of the update package using an encryption key associated with a vendor of the secure element. Then, the secure element uninstalls the previous versions of the applet and exports the associated user data. Next, the secure element installs the update to the applet, and personalizes the new version of the applet using the user data.

    Abstract: To facilitate conducting a financial transaction via wireless communication between a portable electronic device (such as a smartphone) and another electronic device (such as a point-of-sale terminal), the portable electronic device may, after a final command is received from the other electronic device, determine a unique transaction identifier for the financial transaction. In particular, the final command may be specific to a payment applet, stored in a secure element in the portable electronic device, which conducts the financial transaction. The secure element may generate the unique transaction identifier based on financial-account information associated with the payment applet, which is communicated to the other electronic device. Moreover, the financial-account information may specify a financial account that is used to pay for the financial transaction. Next, the secure element may provide, to a processor in the portable electronic device, an end message for the financial transaction with the unique transaction identifier.

    Abstract: A computing device can generate a set of transaction keys, the computing device configured to present a digital credential to a requesting device. The computing device can generate a request bundle. The request bundle can include the set of transaction keys. The computing device can transmit, to a first server, the request bundle. The first server can be configured to verify the request bundle. The first server can be configured to send the request bundle to a second server with a request for a set of credentials. Each credential of the set of credentials can correspond to a transaction key of the set of transaction keys. Each credential can include data elements and a security object. The data elements for each credential can be the same. The security object for each credential can be different. The computing device can receive, from the first server, the set of credentials. The computing device can store the set of credentials. The computing device can be configured to generate a response based on a particular credential of the set of credentials when a requesting device requests the digital credential.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to authenticating a user with a mobile device. In some embodiments, a computing device stores a first signed attestation indicating an ability of the computing device to securely perform a user authentication. The computing device receives a request to store credential information of an identification document issued by an issuing authority to a user for establishing an identity of the user. In response to the request, the computing device sends, to the issuing authority, a request to store the credential information, the sent request including the first signed attestation to indicate an ability to perform a user authentication prior to permitting access to the credential information. In response to an approval of the sent request based on the first signed attestation, the computing device stores the credential information in a secure element of the computing device.

    Abstract: A device implementing a scalable wireless transaction system includes at least one processor configured to receive, from a wireless transaction system server, a list of wireless transaction group identifiers, and an indication of at least one applet associated with each of the wireless transaction group identifiers. The at least one processor is further configured to receive, from a wireless transaction device, a polling frame that includes one of the wireless transaction device group identifiers. The at least one processor is further configured to select an applet provisioned on a device secure element that is assigned to the wireless transaction group identifier, the assigning being based at least in part on the received list. The at least one processor is further configured to utilize the selected applet to perform a wireless transaction with the wireless transaction device.
