  • Transaction authentication
    Patent number: 11777930
    Abstract: A biometric token is generated for a user and provided to a user-operated device. A pre-staged transaction is defined by a user and the user supplies the token for association with the pre-staged transaction. Subsequently, a user visits a transaction terminal and a new candidate token is generated from biometric attributes of the user. The candidate token is matched to the token associated with pre-staged transaction to authenticate the user and the pre-staged transaction is processed at the transaction terminal as a completed transaction.

  • AUTHENTICATED SELF-SERVICE TERMINAL (SST) ACCESS
    Publication number: 20160104140
    Abstract: An SST facilitates authentication of a user through an external service via a mobile device operated by the user. The SST also obtains independent verification of an access command sent from a server through a cryptographic peripheral module integrated into the SST before sending a command to grant authenticated access to the SST in response to the access command.
