Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating frictionless credential provisioning on a user electronic device are provided.
Claims20
A method for increasing the efficiency of credential provisioning using an administration entity (“AE”) subsystem, the method comprising:
- at the AE subsystem:
- when a first electronic device is fully authenticated for a user account of the AE subsystem, requesting proof of ownership of a funding account;
- in response to the requesting, receiving from the first electronic device the requested proof of ownership;
- in response to the receiving the requested proof of ownership:
- provisioning on the first electronic device a credential associated with the funding account;
- generating an ownership token based on the credential and a user of the user account;
- and
- storing the ownership token in an AE locker of the user account;
- after the storing the ownership token in the AE locker of the user account, when a second electronic device is fully authenticated for the user account, storing the ownership token on the second electronic device;
- after the storing the ownership token on the second electronic device, receiving from the second electronic device a request to provision the credential on the second electronic device;
- determining that the received request to provision comprises the ownership token;
- and
- in response to the determining, automatically provisioning on the second electronic device the credential.

A method for credential provisioning using an administration entity (“AE”) subsystem, the method comprising:
- at the AE subsystem:
- authenticating an electronic device for a user account of the AE subsystem;
- in response to the authenticating, identifying an ownership token that is associated with the user account;
- in response to the identifying, providing the authenticated electronic device with access to the identified ownership token, wherein the identified ownership token is for a funding account;
- after the providing, receiving from the electronic device a request to provision on the electronic device a credential for the funding account;
- in response to the receiving, determining that the electronic device has access to the identified ownership token;
- and
- in response to the determining, facilitating the automatic loading of the credential on the electronic device.

A method for credential provisioning using an administration entity (“AE”) subsystem, the method comprising:
- at the AE subsystem:
- receiving, from an electronic device, a communication comprising:
- a unique user identifier of a user of the electronic device when the electronic device is authenticated for an account of the AE subsystem;
- and
- an ownership token;
- after the receiving, determining, using the received communication, that the ownership token was stored at the AE subsystem for a funding account prior to the receiving;
- and
- in response to the determining, facilitating the automatic loading on the electronic device of a credential for the funding account.
