Abstract

In some implementations, a transaction card may receive transaction data from a transaction terminal based on initiation of a transaction with the transaction terminal; generate a tokenized primary account number, for use with the transaction, based on the transaction data and an actual primary account number of the transaction card; and transmit the tokenized primary account number to the transaction terminal for processing the transaction.

Claims (53)

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a device and from a transaction terminal, a combined tokenized primary account number associated with a transaction card, one or more payment credentials associated with the transaction card, a merchant code, and transaction data associated with a transaction,

the combined tokenized primary account number being based on a first tokenized primary account number associated with a first set of parameters that may change across transactions and a second tokenized primary account number that does not change across transactions;

determining, by the device, an actual primary account number of the transaction card based on the combined tokenized primary account number and the merchant code;

determining, by the device, whether the transaction is authorized based on the actual primary account number and the one or more payment credentials; and

transmitting, by the device and to the transaction terminal, a result of determining whether the transaction was authorized.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first tokenized primary account number is associated with a single-use tokenized primary account number.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the single-use tokenized primary account number is reusable during a particular period of time.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first tokenized primary account number is generated to have a same format as the actual primary account number.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second tokenized primary account number is associated with a multi-use tokenized primary account number,

the multi-use tokenized primary account number being reusable in connection with a same merchant.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first tokenized primary account number is generated to tokenize a subset of digits of the actual primary account number.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more payment credentials comprise one or more of:

an expiration date associated with the transaction card,

a card security code associated with the transaction card,

a cardholder name associated with the transaction card,

a billing postal code associated with the transaction card,

one or more fields of a billing address associated with the transaction card, or

a personal identification number (PIN) associated with the transaction card.

8. A device, comprising:

one or more memories; and

one or more processors, communicatively coupled to the one or more processors, to:

receive, from a transaction terminal, a combined tokenized primary account number associated with a transaction card and one or more parameters to be used as input for detokenization;

the combined tokenized primary account number being based on a first tokenized primary account number associated with a first set of parameters and a second tokenized primary account number associated with a second set of parameters;

perform detokenization to determine an actual primary account number of the transaction card based on the combined tokenized primary account number and the one or more parameters;

determine whether a transaction is authorized based on the actual primary account number and the one or more parameters; and

transmit, to the transaction terminal, a result of determining whether the transaction was authorized.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more parameters include one or more of:

one or more payment credentials,

transaction data, or

a random seed.

10. The device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors, when determining whether the transaction is authorized, are configured to:

compare the combined tokenized primary account number to a list of tokenized primary account numbers stored in the one or more memories.

11. The device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further to:

transmit a notification indicating potential transaction card fraud if it is determined that the transaction is not authorized.

12. The device of claim 8 , wherein the first tokenized primary account number is generated to have a same format as the actual primary account number.

13. The device of claim 8 , wherein the second tokenized primary account number is associated with a multi-use tokenized primary account number.

14. The device of claim 8 , wherein the first tokenized primary account number is generated to tokenize a subset of digits of the actual primary account number.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

one or more instructions, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

receive, from a transaction terminal, a combined tokenized primary account number associated with a transaction card and one or more payment credentials associated with the transaction card,

the combined tokenized primary account number being based on a first tokenized primary account number and a second tokenized primary account number;

determine an actual primary account number of the transaction card based on the combined tokenized primary account number and transaction data associated with a transaction;

determine whether the transaction is authorized based on one or more of:

the actual primary account number,

the combined tokenized primary account number, or

the one or more payment credentials; and

transmit, to the transaction terminal, a result of determining whether the transaction was authorized.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the first tokenized primary account number is associated with a single-use tokenized primary account number.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the single-use tokenized primary account number is reusable during a particular period of time.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the one or more payment credentials comprise one or more of: an expiration date associated with the transaction card, a card security code associated with the transaction card, a cardholder name associated with the transaction card, a billing postal code associated with the transaction card, one or more fields of a billing address associated with the transaction card, or a personal identification number (PIN) associated with the transaction card.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the one or more instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the one or more processors to: determine that a transaction was not authorized; determine a location of the transaction card; and provide information associated with the location of the transaction card to a user device associated with an authority.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the one or more instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the one or more processors to: provide instructions to the transaction card to broadcast a location associated with the transaction card.
