System for secure resource allocation communication with a network

A computer program product for secure resource allocation communication with a network, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code causing a scanner device to:

• establish a wired communication link with the network, wherein the network is managed by an entity, wherein the scanner device is associated with the entity, and wherein the entity is a financial institution;
• provide, via the wired communication link and to a device management system associated with the entity, a request for authentication;
• receive, via the wired communication link, in response to providing the request, and from the device management system, a file comprising configuration instructions and a link to a certificate system associated with the entity;
• provide, via the wired communication link and using the link, a certificate enrollment request to the certificate system;
• receive, via the wired communication link, in response to providing the certificate enrollment request, and from the certificate system, a signed certificate;
• adjust a configuration of the scanner device and a network device communicatively to the scanner device to use ports and protocols identified by the configuration instructions from the device management system;
• establish, using the signed certificate, the network device, and the ports and the protocols identified by the configuration instructions, a wireless connection to a network, wherein the scanner device is communicatively connected to the network device for enabling the scanner device to communicate wirelessly with the network;
• scan, using one or more sensors of the scanner device, a check associated with a payment transaction, wherein the one or more sensors are configured for processing checks associated with payment transactions;
• and
• transmit, using the network device and the wireless connection, information regarding the check through the network to a system for processing payment transactions, wherein the system is managed by the financial institution.

A method for secure resource allocation communication with a network, the method comprising:

• establishing, with a scanner device, a wired communication link with the network, wherein the network is managed by an entity, wherein the scanner device is associated with the entity, and wherein the entity is a financial institution;
• providing, with the scanner device via the wired communication link and to a device management system associated with the entity, a request for authentication, wherein the scanner device comprises one or more sensors for processing checks associated with payment transactions, and wherein the scanner device is communicatively connected to a network device for enabling the scanner device to communicate wirelessly with the network;
• receiving, with the scanner device via the wired communication link, in response to providing the request, and from the device management system, a file comprising configuration instructions and a link to a certificate system associated with the entity;
• providing, with the scanner device via the wired communication link and using the link, a certificate enrollment request to the certificate system;
• receiving, with the scanner device via the wired communication link, in response to providing the certificate enrollment request, and from the certificate system, a signed certificate;
• adjusting a configuration of the scanner device and the network device to use ports and protocols identified by the configuration instructions from the device management system;
• establishing, with the scanner device, using the network device, using the signed certificate, and using the ports and the protocols identified by the configuration instructions, a wireless connection to the network;
• scanning, with the scanner device and using the one or more sensors, a check associated with a payment transaction;
• and
• transmitting, with the scanner device, using the network device, and using the wireless connection, information regarding the check through the network to a system for processing payment transactions, wherein the system is managed by the financial institution.
