GENERATING BARCODES UTILIZING CRYPTOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18098914 titled 'GENERATING BARCODES UTILIZING CRYPTOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes a method for securely generating barcodes using cryptographic techniques. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

• The application receives a request to generate a barcode.
• Encrypted data is received from a contactless card associated with an account.
• Verification of the encrypted data and an encrypted authorization token associated with the account is received from a server.
• The application generates the barcode using the encrypted authorization token.

Potential Applications:

• Secure generation of barcodes for various purposes such as ticketing, access control, loyalty programs, etc.
• Enhancing the security of contactless card transactions by utilizing cryptographic techniques.

Problems Solved:

• Ensuring the secure generation of barcodes by utilizing encryption and verification techniques.
• Mitigating the risk of unauthorized access or tampering with barcodes.

Benefits:

• Improved security of barcode generation process.
• Protection against unauthorized access or tampering.
• Enhanced trust and reliability in contactless card transactions.

Original Abstract Submitted

Various embodiments are generally directed to secure generation of barcodes using cryptographic techniques. An application may receive a request to generate a barcode. The application may receive encrypted data from a communications interface of a contactless card associated with an account. The application may receive, from a server, verification of the encrypted data and an encrypted authorization token associated with the account. The application may generate the barcode utilizing the encrypted authorization token.
