Method and system for payment card verification via blockchain
A method for conveyance of payment credentials through a third party data source includes: storing, in a memory of a computing device, at least a first public key and payment credentials associated with a transaction account; generating, by a generation module of the computing device, a machine-readable code encoded with at least the first public key; displaying, by a display device interfaced with the computing device, the generated machine-readable code; generating, by the generation module of the computing device, a key pair comprised of at least a private key and a second public key; encrypting, by an encryption module of the computing device, the payment credentials using the private key; and electronically transmitting, by a transmitting device of the computing device, the encrypted payment credentials to a publicly accessible data source.
1. A method for conveyance of payment credentials through a third party data source, comprising:
storing, in a memory of a computing device, at least payment credentials associated with a transaction account;
generate, a first key pair comprised of a first public key and a first private key;
encrypting, by the computing device, the payment credentials stored in memory using the first private key;
electronically transmitting, by a transmitting device of the computing device, the encrypted payment credentials to a first blockchain address of a blockchain network;
generating, by the computing device, a machine-readable code encoded by at least the first public key, the machine-readable code identifying an encrypted form of the payment credentials at the first blockchain address of the blockchain network;
displaying, by a display device interfaced with the computing device, the generated machine-readable code to initiate a payment transaction at a transaction device;
generating, by the computing device, a second key pair comprised of at least a second private key and a second public key after the machine-readable code is displayed;
newly encrypting, by the computing device, the payment credentials stored in memory using the second private key; and
electronically transmitting, by a transmitting device of the computing device, the newly encrypted payment credentials to a second blockchain address of the blockchain network following completion of the payment transaction.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the payment credentials are comprised of one of: an image of a payment card associated with the transaction account and a data file configured to store the payment credentials.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: digitally signing, by the computing device, the newly encrypted payment credentials using an additional private key prior to transmission.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the machine-readable code is further encoded to include an identification value.
5. A system for conveyance of payment credentials through a third party data source, comprising:
a computing device having a memory and a transmitting device; and
a display device;
the memory of a computing device configured to store at least payment credentials associated with a transaction account;
the computing device being configured to generate a first key pair comprised of a first public key and a first private key;
the computing device being configured to encrypt the payment credentials stored in memory using the first private key;
the transmitting device of the computing device configured to electronically transmit the encrypted payment credentials to a first blockchain address of a blockchain network;
the computing device being further configured to generate:
a machine-readable code encoded with at least the first public key, the machine-readable code identifying an encrypted form of the payment credentials at the first blockchain address of the blockchain network, and
a second key pair comprised of at least a second private key and a second public key;
the display device interfaced with the computing device configured to display the generated machine-readable code to initiate a payment transaction at a transaction device using the encrypted form of the payment credentials;
the computing device being further configured to newly encrypt the payment credentials stored in memory using the second private key; and
the transmitting device of the computing device configured to electronically transmit the newly encrypted payment credentials to a second blockchain address of the blockchain network following completion of the payment transaction.
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the payment credentials are comprised of one of: an image of a payment card associated with the transaction account and a data file configured to store the payment credentials.
7. The method of claim 5 , further comprising: digitally signing, by the computing device, the newly encrypted payment credentials using an additional private key prior to transmission.
8. The system of claim 5 , wherein the machine-readable code is further encoded to include an identification value.
