Abstract
A method for conducting a transaction is disclosed. A processor in a thin client may receive transaction data from a portable device of a first portable device type. The processor may determine that the portable device is the first portable device type. The processor may apply an encryption protocol associated with a second portable device type to the transaction data to create encrypted data. The processor may transmit the encrypted data to a remote computer, wherein the remote computer utilizes the encryption protocol to decrypt the transaction data, and thereafter process the transaction data to conduct the transaction.
Claims21
1-20. (canceled)
A computer-implemented method for conducting a transaction, comprising:
- establishing, by a computing device, a secure channel between a thin client and the computing device;
- receiving, by the computing device, encrypted transaction data from the thin client configured to facilitate data exchange between the computing device and a portable device of a first portable device type;
- decrypting, by the computing device, the encrypted transaction data based using an encryption protocol associated with a second portable device type;
- and
- processing, by the computing device, the decrypted transaction data to conduct the transaction.
A computing device configured to conduct a transaction, the computing device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer readable medium coupled to the processor, the computer readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the computing device to:
- establish a secure channel between a thin client and the computing device;
- receive encrypted transaction data from the thin client configured to facilitate data exchange between the computing device and a portable device of a first portable device type;
- decrypt encrypted transaction data based using an encryption protocol associated with a second portable device type;
- and
- process the decrypted transaction data to conduct the transaction.
