  • Patent number: 11481774
    Abstract: A self-authenticating credit card includes an input device for entering a PIN. The PIN is accepted by a micro-controller that uses the entered PIN as an encryption key for decrypting stored account information. A portion of the account information includes data, that when decrypted, contains an image that is rendered on an integral display, with account information sent to a transaction terminal. A timer is used to limit access to account data while in the unlocked state.
