INTEGRATING MOBILE PAYMENT APPLICATION WITH OTHER MOBILE APPLICATIONS WHILE PREVENTING SECURITY EXPOSURES
First Claim
1. A method for integrating a mobile payment application with other mobile applications while preventing security exposures, the method comprising:
- receiving an indication that a pass was created by said mobile payment application, wherein said pass corresponds to a form of mobile payment;
generating a view of a set of application programming interfaces exposed to leverage said created pass;
receiving a selection of one or more of said set of application programming interfaces to interact with said created pass; and
creating, by a processor, a virtual container for said created pass and said one or more of said set of application programming interfaces selected to interact with said created pass.

Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for integrating a mobile payment application with other mobile applications while preventing security exposures. A set of application programming interfaces of mobile applications that may possibly be utilized by a pass created by a mobile payment application is generated in response to receiving an indication that the pass was created. A “pass,” as used herein, refers to a form of mobile payment, such as a gift card. A selection of these application programming interfaces may then be received to interact with the created pass. In this manner, the existing mobile applications are seamlessly integrated with the features of passes. Furthermore, a virtual container is created for the created pass and the selected application programming interfaces to interface with the created pass. By creating such a container, the data to be exposed to the application layer can be controlled.
