Systems and methods for substitute low-value tokens in secure network transactions
Methods and systems are disclosed for enabling the creation of substitute low-value token creation, comprising providing software content to a content delivery network wherein, when transmitted to a user browser, the software content is configured to enable the user browser to create a substitute low-value token if a token service is unavailable, wherein the content delivery network is configured to provide the software content to at least one user browser, and receiving the substitute low-value token from a merchant system, the substitute low-value token having been generated by the user browser in response to the user browser being unable to obtain a low-value token from the token service.
1. A computer-implemented method of generating a substitute low-value token, comprising:
receiving, by a user device, software content from a content delivery network;
receiving, by a user browser of the user device, information associated with an electronic transaction;
determining, by the user browser of the user device, that a tokenization service is unavailable;
in response to determining that the tokenization service is unavailable, generating, by the user browser of the user device, a substitute low-value token using the received software content based on the received information; and
transmitting, by the user browser of the user device, the generated substitute low-value token to a merchant system.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the substitute low-value token is transmitted with a request to authorize the electronic transaction.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the substitute low-value token comprises encrypted cardholder data.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the software content comprises a public key.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the software content is provided to the user browser in response to the user browser being unable to obtain a low-value token.
6. A system for generating a substitute low-value token, the system comprising:
a data storage device storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform the steps of:
receiving, by a user device, software content from a content delivery network;
receiving, by a user browser of the user device, information associated with an electronic transaction;
determining, by the user browser of the user device, that a tokenization service is unavailable;
in response to determining that the tokenization service is unavailable, generating, by the user browser of the user device, a substitute low-value token using the received software content based on the received information; and
transmitting, by the user browser of the user device, the generated substitute low-value token to a merchant system.
7. The system of claim 6 , the computer-executable instructions further causing the processor to perform the step of: transmitting the substitute low-value token with a request to authorize the electronic transaction.
8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the substitute low-value token comprises encrypted cardholder data.
9. The system of claim 6 , wherein the software content comprises a public key.
10. The system of claim 6 , wherein the software content is provided to the user browser in response to the user browser being unable to obtain a low-value token.
11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a transaction processor, cause the transaction processor to perform the steps of:
receiving, by a user device, software content from a content delivery network;
receiving, by a user browser of the user device, information associated with an electronic transaction;
determining, by the user browser of the user device, that a tokenization service is unavailable;
in response to determining that the tokenization service is unavailable, generating, by the user browser of the user device, a substitute low-value token using the received software content based on the received sensitive information; and
transmitting, by the user browser of the user device, the generated substitute low-value token to a merchant system.
12. The computer-readable medium of claim 11 , the computer-executable instructions further causing the transaction processor to perform the step of: transmitting the substitute low-value token with a request to authorize the electronic transaction.
13. The computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the substitute low-value token comprises encrypted cardholder data.
14. The computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the software content comprises a public key.
15. The computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the software content is provided to the user browser in response to the user browser being unable to obtain a low-value token.
