Patent number: 10893142Abstract: A method of authenticating a service agent on behalf of a user, the method performed at a server and including: obtaining a unique identifier associated with a first communication session established over a first communication channel; storing the unique identifier in a data store; receiving, via a second communication channel, a validation request comprising verification information associated with the user; attempting authentication of the service agent by comparing the verification information with the unique identifier, and in response outputting a validation response via the second communication channel. If the verification information corresponds with the unique identifier, the validation response indicates successful authentication of the service agent, and if the verification information does not correspond with the at least one unique identifier, the validation response indicates unsuccessful authentication of the service agent.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2020Date of Patent: January 12, 2021Assignee: Eckoh UK LimitedInventors: Ashley Burton, Cameron Peter Sutherland Ross, James Heath, Steven James Butler

Publication number: 20170161741Abstract: A method of processing signals in a payment transaction. At a processor, telephonic signals conveying sensitive and non-sensitive information are received. The processor detects sensitive information conveyed by the received telephonic signals and sends the sensitive information to a token service provider. The token service provider is communicatively coupled to a payment transaction entity and configured to generate surrogate information for the sensitive information. The processor receives surrogate information from the token service provider, the surrogate information having been generated by the token service provider. The processor then outputs the received surrogate information to a transaction handling center such that the sensitive information is not provided to the transaction handling center. At the transaction handling center, the surrogate information is included in a transaction request message and the transaction request message is sent to the payment transaction entity.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2016Publication date: June 8, 2017Applicant: Eckoh UK LimitedInventors: Cameron Peter Sutherland Ross, James Heath, Thomas Edward Briden
