Abstract
The invention provides methods, systems and computer program products for identity authentication for payment card based payment transactions. A payment card may be configured for payor identity authentication for the purpose of an electronic payment transaction(s), and may comprise (i) sensors to measure card handling parameters, (ii) an authentication signature generator, configured to generate and store a biometric identity signature associated with an authorized cardholder—which signature is based on a first set of card handling parameter data received from the sensors, (iii) a card handling data comparator configured to receive a second set of card handling parameter data from the sensors, retrieve the biometric identity signature associated with the authorized cardholder, and compare the second set of card handling parameter data with data extracted from the retrieved biometric identity signature, and (iv) an authentication decision generator configured to generate an identity authentication decision based on the comparison.
