Aspects of the disclosure relate to a system and method for securely authenticating a device via token(s) and/or verification computing device(s). A verification computing device may generate a pseudorandom number or sequence. Based on the pseudorandom number or sequence, the verification computing device may select a first plurality of parameters associated with a user of a device to be authenticated. The verification computing device may transmit, to the device, the pseudorandom number or sequence, and the device may select a second plurality of parameters. The device may generate a token based on the second plurality of parameters. The device may send the token to another device, and the other device may send the token to the verification computing device. The verification computing device may authenticate the device based on the token.

Authenticating devices via tokens and verification computing devices

Methods, computer-readable media, software, and apparatuses are provided to assist a user and vendor in completing an online trusted transaction. Trusted vendor websites are verified and user identities are confirmed through a cyber-security safe logon credentialing system. The vendor can be confident that the user identity has been verified to be who they say they are and the user can be confident that they are using a trusted verified vendor website.

Safe logon

Authenticating devices via one or more pseudorandom sequences and one or more tokens

An embodiment of a communication system includes a client device adapted to receive a location object that includes tracer information, and to perform one or more location object-based actions using the location object. The client device stores the tracer information and location object usage information, which describes the one or more location object-based actions that have been performed using the location object. The client device also sends the stored information to a server. The system also includes the server, which is adapted to receive the location object usage information and the tracer information reported by the client device. In an embodiment, the system also includes a service provider adapted to initiate a billing event, which may include generation and transmission of a bill to a sponsor entity based on an evaluation of the location object usage information and the tracer information reported by the client device.

Methods and apparatus for collecting and using information regarding location object-based actions

An embodiment of a communication system includes a client device adapted to receive a traceable object that includes tracer information, and to perform one or more object-related actions using the traceable object. The client device stores the tracer information and object usage information, which describes the one or more object-related actions that have been performed using the traceable object. The client device also sends the stored information to a server. The system also includes the server, which is adapted to receive the object usage information and the tracer information reported by the client device. In an embodiment, the system also includes a service provider adapted to initiate a billing event, which may include generation and transmission of a bill to a sponsor entity based on an evaluation of the object usage information and the tracer information reported by the client device.
