  • Patent number: 10931663
    Abstract: Two-factor authentication is processed on a transaction terminal before access is provided to a secure resource of the transaction terminal. A first factor authentication is performed to authenticate an identifier and a credential of a user. A unique challenge is sent, in response to a successful first factor authentication, to a secure device interfaced to the transaction terminal. A one-time unique signed response is received from the secure device in response to the unique challenge and a user action that depresses a button on the secure device. The one-time unique signed response is compared against what is expected from the secure device. When the comparison is successful, a user identity for the user is set, a security role is set for the user identity, and the user is granted access to the secure resource with the set security role.
