Abstract
Systems and methods for secure transaction authorization are provided. An emulator is instantiated on a host device and configured to emulate an integrated circuit having a different instruction set than an integrated circuit of the host device, and a guest operating system executing on the emulated integrated circuit is configured to communicate with a host operating system of the host device through an emulated network interface of the emulator. Under control of one or more guest operating system processes executing on the emulated integrated circuit, a request is received over a first secure communication channel from an application executing on the host operating system to authorize a transaction. Further, based on the received request, user input is obtained from an input device of the host device and transformed into verification data. A different second secure communication channel is established to a remote system through the emulated network interface, and a request is sent over the second channel to the remote system to authorize the transaction based on the verification data. An authorization result is received from the remote system over the second secure communication …
