US 12,756,685 B1 · Cards, devices, systems, and methods for zone-based network management

Abstract

A user is provided with a GUI that may allow the user to change functionality associated with a non-battery-powered card, a battery-powered card, a payment sticker, or another device (e.g., a mobile telephonic device). Such functionality may cause a network entity to deliver transaction details to a processing facility. The processing facility may be implemented with processing zones for scrubbing personal information from the transaction details and providing sanitized information to third party applications that may utilize the sanitized information for value. Third-party applications may interact with the processing facility via zone-based APIs to promote third-party software development within the processing facility and to promote third-party communications with the processing facility. Each of the processing zones may enforce security contexts such that processing zones of equal security contexts may communicate with other, while processing zones of unequal security contexts may not.

Dependent claims

A method, comprising:

receiving an address discovery request by a first firewall of a first processing zone in a zone-based network;
determining, by the first firewall, to make no response to the address discovery request;
receiving, by the first firewall, a message from a second firewall of a second processing zone in the zone based network;
determining, by the first firewall, that the message includes a deep space network address associated with the first firewall;
and
communicating, by the first firewall, with a device of the first processing zone based on the deep space network address.
