  • Patent number: 8369833
    Abstract: An authorization and authentication system utilizing a mobile communication device. The authentication and authorization system enables a trusted server, in conjunction with a user controlled mobile communication device (which has been registered with the trusted site), to authorize a transaction carried out at a transaction management system. An identity of the user is authenticated by a verification that the user is in possession of the mobile communication device. In this way, the transaction management system is able to effectuate an authorized transaction with confidence that the authorization was from the user and not a third party. In variations, the authentication is a multi-factor authentication, i.e., the user must both possess the mobile communication device and information, e.g., a password.
