An authentication system may receive an authentication MAC, an integrity MAC, and data transmitted from a payment application and a payment terminal. A local integrity MAC may be generated using the data as an input to a first cryptographic operation. The system may compare the local integrity MAC to the received integrity MAC to authenticate the received integrity MAC. A local authentication MAC may be generated using a second cryptographic operation and compare the local authentication MAC to the received authentication MAC. The system may authenticate the payment application in response to a successful authentication of at least one of the received authentication MAC or the received integrity MAC.

The system protects an account through the use of tokens, thereby eliminating the need to expose the primary account identifier during a transaction. If a primary account identifier is compromised, any use of the primary account identifier to facilitate a fraudulent purchase or settlement transaction may be blocked by the system. The system is configured to receive a payment authorization request including a payment account first identifier. The payment account first identifier serves as a search condition for a query, which is executed against a database to retrieve payment account information, if the payment account information exists. The system sends a decline response in response to the payment account first identifier and a primary account identifier from the payment account information being the same, indicating that a primary account is being used.

The system provides location based coupon-less offers based upon a location of a card member (CM). A location of a CM may be determined based upon one or more of a travel itinerary, a GPS signal, a proximity of a mobile communication device to a cellular base station, and/or a zip code. An offer from a merchant registered to provide coupon-less offers may be transmitted to a mobile communication device based upon the location. An offer, once accepted by a CM, may be matched to a record of charge associated with a transaction account held by the CM. A credit may be applied to the CM's transaction account and a debit may be applied to a transaction account of the registered merchant. One or more offer categories and/or one or more offer category classes may be transmitted to the mobile communication device based upon the CM's location.

The present disclosure includes a system, method, and article of manufacture for targeting ad impressions. A list of customer records may be transmitted to a service provider system that identifies a matched customer and installs a cookie on a web client associated with the matched customer. The system may further receive a campaign request from a merchant and transmit the campaign request to the service provider system which may add a flag to the cookie based on the campaign request as well as instruct a media buyer system to bid on an ad impression for the matched customer based on the flag. The system may further receive an expenditure associated with the matched customer who received the ad impression and compare the expenditure to an expenditure associated with a customer who did not receive targeted ad impression but fits parameters associated with the campaign request.

An adaptable network security system includes trust mediator agents that are coupled to each network component. Trust mediator agents continuously detect changes in the security characteristics of the network and communicate the detected security characteristics to a trust mediator. Based on the security characteristics received from the trust mediator agents, the trust mediator adjusts security safeguards to maintain an acceptable level of security. Trust mediator also uses predetermined rules in determining whether to adjust security safeguards. Despite inevitable changes in security characteristics, an acceptable level of security and efficient network operation are achieved without subjecting users of the network to over burdensome security safeguards.
