A method for risk scoring a blockchain transaction includes: storing blockchain data associated with a blockchain, the data including a plurality of blocks, each block including a block header and transaction values, each transaction value including a sending address, recipient address, and transaction amount; receiving a new transaction value related to a proposed blockchain transaction and a node identifier associated with a node included in a blockchain network associated with the blockchain, the new transaction value including a user address, transacting address, and blockchain amount; identifying transaction values in the blockchain where the sending address or recipient address is associated with a transacting cryptographic key pair also associated with the transacting address; determining a risk score for the proposed blockchain transaction based on at least the data included in each of the identified transaction values and the new transaction value; and transmitting the determined risk score.

Method and system for risk scoring anonymized transactions

Methods, systems and computer program products for selectively providing authenticated data corresponding to a payment card holder at a point-of-sale (POS) terminal are described. The method can include receiving from a terminal device, payment card account information comprising a payment card account identifier and user authentication information. Responsive to the received user authentication information matching one of a plurality of predefined authentication keys associated with the payment card account identifier, a predefined function is selected from among at least first and second predefined functions associated with the payment card account identifier&#x2014;wherein the selection of the predefined function from among the first and second predefined functions is based on an association between the selected predefined function and an authentication key that has been matched with the received user authentication information.

A method for validating a message recipient includes: storing, in a memory of a processing server, a device profile, wherein the device profile is related to a mobile computing device and includes at least a device identifier, and token validation data; receiving, by a receiver of the processing server, a data signal from an external system that is encoded with a message packet, wherein the message packet includes at least the device identifier, a device token, and a content message; validating, by a processing device of the processing server, the device token using at least the token validation data; and electronically transmitting, by a transmitter of the processing server, the content message to the mobile computing device.

Method and system for account security of recycled phone numbers

The present invention relates to the field of electronic transactions, and provides methods and systems for reducing user interventions necessary for authentication of transactions. In an embodiment the invention implements an authentication server configured to receive from a terminal device an electronic payment transaction request and device IDs corresponding to devices having wireless communication capability that are detected within a wireless communication range of the terminal device. The authentication server selects a payment account for implementing the requested electronic payment transaction, wherein selection of the payment account is based on a determination that one or more of the device IDs received from the terminal device are associated with the identified payment account, and thereafter generates a payment transaction authentication decision.
