Systems and Methods for Secure Pairing Authorization of Passenger Applications and Vehicles

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• obtaining, by a computing system comprising one or more computing devices, a first entity pairing request for a first entity associated with a service entity, the first entity pairing request comprising first entity identification data;
• determining, by the computing system based at least in part on the first entity identification data, a temporary pairing code associated with the first entity;
• providing, by the computing system, the temporary pairing code to the service entity;
• obtaining, by the computing system, a second entity pairing request for a second entity associated with the service entity, the second entity pairing request comprising the temporary pairing code and an operational certificate, the operational certificate comprising second entity identification data associated with the second entity;
• and
• pairing, by the computing system, the second entity and the first entity based at least in part on the second entity pairing request.

A computing system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more tangible, non-transitory, computer readable media that collectively store instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the computing system to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• obtaining a first entity pairing request for a first entity associated with a service entity, the first entity pairing request comprising first entity identification data;
• determining that the first entity identification data corresponds to previously stored identification data;
• determining, based at least in part on the first entity identification data, a temporary pairing code associated with the first entity for which the first entity identification data corresponds to previously stored identification data;
• providing the temporary pairing code to the service entity;
• obtaining a second entity pairing request for a second entity associated with the service entity, the second entity pairing request comprising the temporary pairing code and second entity identification data associated with the second entity;
• and
• pairing the second entity and the first entity based at least in part on the second entity pairing request.

One or more tangible, non-transitory, computer readable media that collectively store instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• obtaining a first entity pairing request for a first entity associated with a service entity, the first entity pairing request comprising first entity identification data;
• determining, based at least in part on the first entity identification data, a temporary pairing code associated with the first entity;
• providing the temporary pairing code to the service entity;
• obtaining a second entity pairing request from a second entity, the second entity pairing request comprising the temporary pairing code and an operational certificate, the operational certificate comprising second entity identification data associated with the second entity;
• pairing the second entity and the first entity based at least in part on the second entity pairing request;
• and
• for one or more iterations:
• obtaining authentication request data from the second entity, the authentication request data comprising the second entity identification data and the first entity identification data;
• determining that the authentication request data corresponds to a stored pairing between the second entity and a first entity;
• and
• providing a backend authentication certificate to the second entity, the backend authentication certificate configured to provide access to a backend service of a computing system.
