  • Patent number: 8738921
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for authenticating a person's identity to a business using a trusted entity with a secure repository to store and protect the person's identity information. The person accesses their account on the trusted entity's server using a user name and a password. Then, the trusted entity grants the person a unique code so the person can authenticate their identity to the business. The person delivers the unique code to the transactional entity. The business makes a request to verify the unique code with the trusted entity. The trusted entity verifies the unique code, which authenticates the person's identity to the business.

  • Patent number: 7954704
    Abstract: Implementations of the present invention provide systems, methods, and apparatus for stopping unauthorized transactions before they are processed, as well as for creating and using one or more sub-accounts. For example, a debit or credit account can be activated or deactivated at will through various spend control mechanisms, which can be limited by specified time periods, numbers of transactions, and/or monetary amounts. Further implementations also relate to using a unique 6-digit identification number (or biometric information) that is known only to the account granting institution and the primary account owner for the various types of activation/deactivation.

  • Publication number: 20070271221
    Abstract: Systems and methods for securing a social security number involve pairing a traditional personal identification number, or other personal identifier, with a social security number for verification purposes. In particular, the owner of the social security number can link a PIN, or other identifier, to their social security number in a data storage system. If the owner of a social security number is required to verify their identity, the institution requiring the identity verification can request from the user and submit the person's PIN, or other personal information, to a third-party granting system (e.g., trusted entity), in order to verify that it is paired with the social security number. If the PIN matches the social security number/PIN pairing in the data storage system, the institution can be notified that the individual is verified, and/or indeed owns the social security number.

  • Publication number: 20010047330
    Abstract: An account holder authorizes transfer of funds from an account using a limited-use account number. An account issuer establishes an account and associates a limited-use account number with the account. The limited-use account number remains inactive until the account holder requests activation thereof. The account holder uses a transactions card to initiate communication with the account issuer and to request activation of the limited-use account number. Upon receiving the request for activation, the account issuer activates the limited-use account number for either a specified period of time or a specified number of transactions. The account holder then uses the limited-use account number for the specified period of time or the specified number of transactions, after which the limited-use account number is deactivated until such time that the account holder again requests activation thereof.
