    摘要: A proxy-based method for improving digital security during a user's travel is provided. The method may include determining a bundle of merchant category classification (MCC) codes. This bundle preferably reflects a baseline travel condition. The baseline travel condition is associated with a user mobile device. The method may also include dynamically updating a characteristic associated with the bundle of MCC codes based on updated travel conditions. The method may also include determining an occurrence of an anomalous user mobile device activity. The determination may be based on a comparison of the updated characteristic associated with the bundle of MCC codes and the baseline travel conditions; and in response to a determination of anomalous user mobile device activity, increasing a security level associated with the mobile device associated with the user.

Debit and credit transactions may be processed. NFC and UWB geo-locating can be used to find lost cards and/or the mobile device on which the app is loaded. Electronic transactions may be received and performed without requiring a recipient to download an app. Secure semiconductors may facilitate wireless and non-wireless communications with ATMs and POS machines. QR codes may identify accounts, constitute private/public encryption keys, or other relevant info. A cold storage or hot storage system may be implemented for the digital currency store.
