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

Systems, apparatus, and methods for managing an application installed on a mobile device, such as a mobile phone are provided, so as to prevent or limit unauthorized use of the application, for example, when the mobile device is lost, stolen, or otherwise subject to unauthorized use. A request to enable or disable user access to a function of the application can be received by a server computer. A command message responsive to the request can be generated by the server computer, the command message comprising control data for enabling or disabling user access to the function of the application. The generated command message can be transmitted to the mobile device over a wireless network.

Over the air management of payment application installed in mobile device

Systems, apparatus, and methods for managing an application installed on a mobile device, such as a mobile phone are provided, so as to prevent or limit unauthorized use of the application, for example, when the mobile device is lost, stolen, or otherwise subject to unauthorized use. An input indicative of a password to access the application can be received. It may be determined that a predetermined number of password entry attempts has been reached based on the input. A request message to disable access to the application can be transmitted from the mobile device to a remote computer. One or more lock instructions for disabling access to the application can be received by the mobile device from the remote computer. The one or more lock instructions can be executed by the mobile device by modifying control data within a secure memory of the mobile device.

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.

Token based transaction authentication

Systems and methods for service activation using algorithmically defined keys are disclosed. A consumer who has a relationship with a first party may wish to enroll in a service provided by a third party. The first party can maintain control of such enrollments through the use of algorithmically defined keys. The algorithmically defined keys also allow the third party service provider to verify data provided by the consumer as matching data stored by the first party. The verification provides for data synchronization without requiring the third party to have access to the first parties data systems.

Service activation using algorithmically defined key

Systems, apparatus, and methods for managing a payment application installed on a mobile device, such as a mobile phone are provided. An Issuer of a payment device can remotely control the payment application by instructing a wireless network carrier or operator to transmit a message to the mobile phone, where the message contains an instruction to perform an operation related to the payment application. The Issuer can remotely reset a counter or a password associated with the payment application, lock or unlock a payment application, and set the access control data to a predetermined value, to prevent unauthorized use of the payment application in the situation in which the mobile phone is lost or stolen, or the Issuer desires to limit access to the payment application for other reasons, such as limiting its exposure to unauthorized uses of the payment device.

One embodiment of the invention is directed to a method including receiving an alias identifier associated with an account associated with a presenter, determining an associated trusted party using the alias identifier, sending a verification request message to the trusted party after determining the associated trusted party, and receiving a verification response message.

Embodiments of the invention are direction to systems, apparatuses and methods for enrolling users in a payment service that enables an individual ('a presenter') to conduct a payment transaction with another party ('an acceptor') more efficiently in situations where the individual has multiple payment accounts. One embodiment of the invention is directed to a method comprising presenting to a user a plurality of payment accounts associated with the user, receiving from the user a selection of an alias account identifier for each of the payment accounts, and storing in a database data that associates the selected alias account identifiers with the payment accounts.
