Embodiments of the invention are directed to a method for submitting a tokenization request via an access device. Embodiments allow tokens to be retrieved for complex mobile devices as well as basic card-type devices. Token requests can be formatted as authorization request messages and transmitted along authorization communication channels.

Tokenization request via access device

A method is disclosed for enabling transaction reversal processes without utilizing sensitive information. Instead of being identified by sensitive information, the transaction associated with a reversal can be identified by a transaction identifier that is generated by a resource provider.

System communications with non-sensitive identifiers

Embodiments of the invention can combine card not present transaction processing with PIN verification. A merchant or a consumer can initiate transactions using any suitable transaction initiation channel. One aspect of the invention helps facilitate payment card authentication across multiple wallet providers/merchants using an encrypted card PIN and a digital certificate. One aspect of the invention can incorporate the use of different transaction networks to perform authentication and authorization processing.

Authenticating remote transactions using a mobile device

Efficient methods and systems for verifying personal identifiers in transactions such as financial transactions are disclosed. In an exemplary method, an authentication server computer may provide an account number and a personal identifier such as a PIN to a payment processing network server computer. The payment processing network server computer may then determine which of a plurality of authentication processes to initiate.

Variable authentication process and system

An embodiment of the invention is directed to a method comprising receiving, at a server computer, information for a portable device that includes a mobile device identifier and storing, by the server computer, the information for the portable device that includes the mobile device identifier in a database associated with the server computer. The method further comprising receiving, by the server computer, transaction data from an access device for a transaction conducted at the access device, determining, by the server computer, from the transaction data that the transaction is associated with the portable device, determining, by the server computer, a location of the access device, determining, by the server computer, a location of a mobile device associated with the mobile device identifier, determining, by the server computer, that the location of the mobile device matches the location of the access device, and marking, by the server computer, the stored information for the portable device as authentication verified.

Data verification using access device

Systems and methods for intelligently authenticating payment transactions are disclosed. A user initiates a payment transaction to purchases goods or services from a merchant. The merchant sends a payment initiation request to a server computer in communication with a payment processing network and an issuer. The server computer queries various databases to determine one or more available communication channels that may be used as authentication channels by the issuer. The server computer also determines one or more communication channels, available for use by a mobile device of the user, that may be used as authentication channels to authenticate the payment transaction. The user is provided with a list of available/eligible authentication channels. User selects one of the authentication channels and the issuer is notified of the selection. The issuer uses the selected authentication channel to communicate with the user and authenticate the payment transaction.

Intelligent authentication

Embodiments are directed to systems and methods for performing consumer authentication in a tokenized transaction. The token in the authentication request may be resolved to corresponding credentials before the consumer authentication process is initiated. As part of an authentication system, the merchant computer may include a merchant plug-in module as a proxy between the merchant computer and an issuer access control server. The merchant plug-in module may communicate with the issuer access control server by sending verification and authentication messages to the issuer access control server via a directory server. The token may be resolved to corresponding credentials before the authentication request reaches the issuer access computer for authentication. The merchant plug-in module, the directory server or a token router coupled to the issuer access control server may each be in communication with one or more token service providers to de-tokenize the token provided by the consumer's user device.

Tokenization capable authentication framework

Systems communications with non-sensitive identifiers

A token based transaction authentication system is disclosed. Issuer, merchants, and a payment processing network generate unique tokens or keys to authenticate messages between themselves and to authenticate a sending entity or consumer as they are redirected between entities. The tokens are also used to identify the particular authentication thread a message or sending entity is associated with. The sending entity authentication occurs over a web-based channel or a mobile based channel.
