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 (49)

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a transaction card and from a transaction terminal, at least two parameters associated with a transaction based on initiation of the transaction with the transaction terminal;

generating, by the transaction card, a tokenized primary account number, for use with the transaction, based on the at least two parameters received from the transaction terminal and based on an actual primary account number stored in memory of the transaction card; and

transmitting, by the transaction card, the tokenized primary account number to the transaction terminal for performing the transaction.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transaction terminal is a mobile phone or a tablet computer.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the tokenized primary account number is transmitted to the transaction terminal using near-field communication.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least two parameters include at least one of:

a merchant code associated with the transaction,

a transaction amount associated with the transaction,

a transaction date associated with the transaction,

a transaction time associated with the transaction, or

a transaction location associated with the transaction.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the tokenized primary account number is generated further based on one or more payment credentials associated with the transaction card.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the tokenized primary account number is a multi-use tokenized primary account number generated using information that does not change across transactions.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the tokenized primary account number is a single-use tokenized primary account number generated using information that changes across transactions.

8. A transaction card, comprising:

one or more memories; and

one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:

receive, from a transaction terminal, at least two parameters associated with a transaction based on initiation of the transaction with the transaction terminal;

generate a tokenized primary account number, for use with the transaction, based on the at least two parameters received from the transaction terminal and based on an actual primary account number stored in the one or more memories; and

transmit the tokenized primary account number to the transaction terminal for performing the transaction.

9. The transaction card of claim 8 , wherein the transaction terminal is a mobile phone or a tablet computer.

10. The transaction card of claim 8 , wherein the tokenized primary account number is transmitted to the transaction terminal using near-field communication.

11. The transaction card of claim 8 , wherein the at least two parameters include at least one of:

a merchant code associated with the transaction,

a transaction amount associated with the transaction,

a transaction date associated with the transaction,

a transaction time associated with the transaction, or

a transaction location associated with the transaction.

12. The transaction card of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors, to generate the tokenized primary account number, are further configured to generate the tokenized primary account number based on one or more payment credentials associated with the transaction card.

13. The transaction card of claim 8 , wherein the tokenized primary account number is a multi-use tokenized primary account number generated using information that does not change across transactions.

14. The transaction card of claim 8 , wherein the tokenized primary account number is a single-use tokenized primary account number generated using information that changes across transactions.

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

one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a transaction card, cause the transaction card to:

receive, from a transaction terminal, at least two parameters associated with a transaction based on initiation of the transaction with the transaction terminal;

generate a tokenized primary account number, for use with the transaction, based on the at least two parameters received from the transaction terminal and based on an actual primary account number stored in memory of the transaction card; and

transmit the tokenized primary account number to the transaction terminal for performing the transaction.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the transaction terminal is a mobile phone or a tablet computer.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the tokenized primary account number is transmitted to the transaction terminal using near-field communication.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the at least two parameters include at least one of:

a merchant code associated with the transaction,

a transaction amount associated with the transaction,

a transaction date associated with the transaction,

a transaction time associated with the transaction, or

a transaction location associated with the transaction.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the one or more instructions, that cause the transaction card to generate the tokenized primary account number, cause the transaction card to generate the tokenized primary account number based on one or more payment credentials associated with the transaction card.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the tokenized primary account number is one of:

a multi-use tokenized primary account number generated using information that does not change across transactions, or

a single-use tokenized primary account number generated using information that changes across transactions.
