A computer-implemented method of providing a transaction proof for a transaction is described. This is performed in a payment device. A payor credential for the transaction is established. This payor credential is provided as ciphertext input to a format preserving encryption mechanism having a cryptographic key and a tweak. Transaction details for the transaction are provided as the tweak. The output of the format preserving encryption mechanism is obtained as the transaction proof. A computing device adapted to perform such a method is also described.

A computer-implemented method of tokenisation is described. A first value for a data field is provided, which is determined in accordance with a set of data field rules. Some or all places in the data field of the first value are encrypted using format preserving encryption to provide an encrypted first token also complying with the set of data field rules. The encrypted first token is used in place of the first value in one or more operations associated with the data field. A computing device adapted to implement such a method is also described.

A computer-implemented method of establishing a secure token in a computing device of a cardholder having a secure computing environment and a general computing environment is described. A wallet service provider for the cardholder receives a request to tokenise a transaction credential for the cardholder for the cardholder computing device. The wallet service provider generates the secure token from the transaction credential according to a processing mechanism using an initialisation element. The wallet service provider then provisions the secure token to the secure computing environment of the computing device of the cardholder. A computing device adapted to perform such a method is also described.

An industrial materials handling vehicle (5) including a vehicle body (10) supported by steer wheel and wheel assemblies (20), a bumper (40) coupled to the body (10), and a sensor accommodating bumper mount (50) mounted to the vehicle body and/or bumper, the body and the bumper cooperatively defining a steer wheel access opening. The sensor accommodating bumper mount comprises a bumper mount housing (52) with complementary steer wheel access opening (54), a sensor assembly mount removably mounted to the bumper and/or bumper mount housing, and a sensor assembly mounted to the sensor assembly mount. The sensor assembly and mount at least partially obstruct the steer wheel access opening and complementary steer wheel access opening when the sensor assembly mount is mounted to the bumper and/or bumper mount housing, providing at least partial access to the steer wheel assembly through the steer wheel access opening and the complementary steer wheel access opening when the sensor assembly mount is unmounted.

A method of authenticating, at an authentication server (14), a communications session between a user device (12) and a third party device (16), the method comprising: receiving a connection notification (30) from the third party device, the connection notification indicating the intention of the third party device to initiate a communications session with the user device by subsequently sending a session request (60) to the user device, the connection notification comprising a user identifier (32) and identification of a communications channel (26) that will be used for the communications session; retrieving a user profile (20) in dependence on the received user identifier, the user profile comprising a user device identifier; generating a communications identifier (38); sending, from the authentication server to the user device, a communications notification (40), the communications notification comprising data (34) relating to the communications channel that the third party device will use to connect to the user device, third party identification data (31) and the communications identifier; sending, to the third party device, the communications identifier (38) such that the third party device can include the communications identifier when initiating the communications session with the user device in order to indicate that the communications session is genuine

A computer-implemented instruction handling system for receiving a computer-implementable instruction from an instruction-generating computer in a data stream or a file stream format is described. The system is configured to extract, validate and route the instruction to a remotely-located instruction implementing computer in a format compatible with the instruction implementing computer. The system comprises: a data store storing a set of user-configurable workflows and rules for extracting, validating and routing the instruction to the instruction implementing computer; and a processor. The processor is configured by the workflows and rules to: determine a message state of the received instruction; the message state indicating a type of the instruction and any anomalies of the message which require rectification, and the degree to which the instruction has been validated; and use a specific workflow associated with the predetermined message state to: a) identify a predetermined service to be applied to the instruction in accordance with the corresponding workflow; b) retrieve and apply the service to the instruction in accordance with the workflow; c) record the results of applying the service to the instruction as feedback; d) determine if there are any more services to be applied in the specified workflow; and e) repeat Steps a) to e) until the message state of the instruction indicates that no further services are required to be applied to the instruction. The system further comprises an instruction transmitter configured to send the instruction to the instruction implementing computer in a data stream format or a file stream format compatible with the instruction implementing computer; and a message feedback engine configured to receive a response feedback message from the instruction implementing computer regarding success or failure in executing the instruction; the message feedback engine being configured to store the response feedback message; and transmit the response feedback message to the instruction generating computer.
