Secure and trusted conveyance from user computing device to merchant computing entity

Filed:2021-12-23Pub:2026-02-17
Applicant:Flexa Inc.

A method includes obtaining, by a user computing device, a one-time use code from a merchant computing entity to initiate a data conveyance. The method further includes sending, by the user computing device, the one-time use code and a request to initiate the data conveyance. The method further includes translating, by the secure data conveyance device, the amount of the cryptocurrency to a substantially equivalent amount of the desired currency. The method further includes generating, by the trusted SVA device, an SVA representative of the substantially equivalent amount of the desired currency. The method further includes sending, by the secure data conveyance device, the one-time use code, the SVA, a merchant computing entity identifier (ID) associated with the merchant computing entity, and an expiration time frame to use the SVA to the user computing device. The method further includes verifying, by the merchant computing entity, the one-time use code.
