Verified reviews using a contactless card

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which when executed by a processor cause the processor to:

• receive, by an application executing on the processor, an indication specifying to submit a review for an entity comprising one or more of a merchant and a service provider;
• disable, by the application, a submission element of a graphical user interface (GUI) of the application, the submission element operative to submit reviews for publication when enabled;
• output, by the application, an indication specifying to tap a contactless card to a device;
• receive, by an application programming interface (API) of the application, encrypted data from a communications interface of the contactless card, the encrypted data based on a cryptographic algorithm, a customer identifier, and a private key associated with the contactless card;
• transmit, by the API of the application to an authentication server associated with the contactless card:
• (i) the encrypted data, (ii) an application identifier of the application, and (iii) an entity identifier associated with the entity;
• receive, by the API of the application from the authentication server, indications specifying that the authentication server:
• (i) decrypted the encrypted data using a copy of the private key associated with the contactless card stored by the server to yield the customer identifier, and (ii) determined that the contactless card was used to make a purchase with the entity based at least in part on the entity identifier and the decrypted customer identifier;
• enable, by the application based on the indications received from the authentication server, the submission element of the GUI;
• permit, by the application based on the indications received from the authentication server, submit of the review;
• and
• publish, by the application, the review to one or more review platforms associated with the application responsive to receiving selection of the submission element of the GUI.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by an application executing on a processor of a device, an indication specifying to generate a review for an entity comprising one or more of a merchant and a service provider;
• disabling, by the application, a submission element of a graphical user interface (GUI) of the application, the submission element operative to submit reviews for publication when enabled;
• outputting, by the application in the GUI, an indication specifying to tap a contactless card to the device;
• receiving, by an application programming interface (API) of the application from a communications interface of the contactless card, encrypted data generated by the contactless card based on a cryptographic algorithm, a customer identifier, and a private key associated with the contactless card stored in a memory of the contactless card;
• transmitting, by the API of the application to an authentication server associated with the contactless card:
• (i) the encrypted data, (ii) an application identifier of the application, and (iii) an entity identifier associated with the entity;
• receiving, by the API of the application from the authentication server, indications specifying that the authentication server:
• (i) decrypted the encrypted data using a copy of the private key associated with the contactless card stored by the server to yield the customer identifier, and (ii) determined that the contactless card was used to make a purchase with the entity based at least in part on the entity identifier and the decrypted customer identifier;
• enabling, by the application based on the indications received from the authentication server, the submission element of the GUI;
• permitting, by the application based on the indications received from the authentication server, generation of the review;
• and
• publishing, by the application, the review to one or more review platforms associated with the application responsive to receiving selection of the submission element of the GUI.
