Systems and methods for cryptographic authentication of contactless cards

1. A card activation system comprising:

a contactless card including one or more processors and memory, wherein the memory contains one or more applets;

a client application comprising instructions for execution on a client device including one or more processors and memory; and one or more servers, wherein the contactless card is configured to transmit a first set of information to the client application after entry of the contactless card into a communication field, the first set of information comprising one or more links configured to activate the contactless card and the one or more links includes a first link comprising one or more information elements to activate the contactless card, wherein the one or more information elements includes a first information element comprising a dynamically generated phone number, a second information element comprising one or more commas, and a third information element comprising an encrypted payload, wherein the client application is configured to receive the first set of information from the contactless card and transmit to the one or more servers for validation, and wherein, upon the validation of the first set of information, the contactless card is activated.

2. The card activation system of claim 1 , wherein the second information element comprises one or more commas indicative of durational pauses associated with a phone call initiated by the client application.

3. The card activation system of claim 1 , wherein the third information element is decrypted with one or more keys via the one or more servers.

4. The card activation system of claim 1 , wherein the first set of information further comprises a card verification value to activate the contactless card.

5. The card activation system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more information elements further includes a list including a plurality of phone numbers is received from the contactless card.

6. The card activation system of claim 5 , wherein a phone number is selected from the list based on a purpose of authentication.

7. The card activation system of claim 1 , wherein the contactless card is configured to stop dynamic generation of the first set of information after the client application receives notification from the one or more servers that the contactless card is activated.

8. A method of activating a contactless card, the method comprising the steps of:

entering, by the contactless card, into a communication field;

transmitting, by one or more applets contained in a memory of the contactless card, a first set of information to a client application comprising instructions for execution on a client device via the communication field after entry of the contactless card into a communication field, the first set of information comprising one or more links configured to activate the contactless card, wherein:

the one or more links includes a first link comprising one or more information elements to activate the contactless card, and the one or more information elements includes a first information element comprising a dynamically generated phone number, a second information element comprising one or more commas, and a third information element comprising an encrypted payload;

transmitting, by the client application, the first set of information to one or more servers;

performing, by one or more servers, one or more cryptographic operations to validate the first set of information; and

activating, upon the validation of the first set of information, the contactless card.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more commas are indicative of durational pauses associated with a phone call initiated by the client application.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the third information element is decrypted with one or more keys via the one or more servers.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first set of information comprises a card verification value to activate the contactless card.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more information elements further includes a list including a plurality phone numbers is received from the contactless card and a phone number is selected from the list based on a purpose of authentication.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the contactless card is configured to stop dynamic generation of the first set of information after the client application receives notification from the one or more servers that the contactless card is activated.

14. A contactless card comprising:

a processor;

a memory, wherein the memory contains one or more applets and a first set of information, wherein, after entry of the contactless card into a communication field, the one or more applets are configured to transmit the first set of information, wherein the first set of information comprises one or more links configured to activate the contactless card, the one or more links including a first information element and a second information element, and wherein the first information element comprises a dynamically generated phone number and the second information element comprises an encrypted payload.

15. The contactless card of claim 14 , wherein the encrypted payload is encrypted by a public key.

16. The contactless card of claim 15 , wherein the encrypted payload comprises an identification token.

17. The contactless card of claim 15 , wherein the first set of information comprises a card verification value to activate the contactless card.
