Abstract

Systems and methods for decryption of payloads are disclosed herein. In various embodiments, systems and methods herein are configured for decrypting thousands of transactions per second. Further, in particular embodiments, the systems and methods herein are scalable, such that many thousands of transactions can be processed per second upon replicating particular architectural components.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method for fast decryption of one or more payloads, the method comprising:

providing a frontend server operatively connected to at least one slave read-only database, the frontend server configured for receiving one or more received payloads and authenticating each of the one or more received payloads by comparing data included in the one or more received payloads with data included in the at least one slave read-only database;

providing a hardware security module, wherein the hardware security module is operatively connected to the frontend server via a hardware security module server and is for decrypting encrypted portions of the one or more received payloads;

providing a message queuing protocol operatively connected to a read-only database and a read/write database, the message queuing protocol configured for;

receiving event notifications from the read-only database, wherein the event notifications each comprise one or more notifications regarding the authentication of the one or more received payloads;

queuing the event notifications received from the read-only database; and

transmitting the event notifications and any stored event notifications to the read/write database upon determining that the read/write database is configured to accept event notifications.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the message queuing protocol is further configured for receiving event notifications from the read-only database, wherein the read-only database is a master read-only database operatively connected to the at least one slave read-only database.

3. The computer- implemented method of claim 1, wherein the message queuing protocol is further configured for storing the event notifications upon determining the read/write database is not configured to accept event notifications.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the read/write database is a P2PE manager.
