  • Publication number: 20080222417
    Abstract: The disclosure details a nested security access system that manages access points/verification requests to create a series of layered security applications for securing access/user identification data. The NSA system works in coordination with an access point/verification module to generate a series of instructions as a login/verification module that may be executed locally. The login/verification module is executed by the access point/verification module to create a system user access/verification data entry form. Depending on the implementation, the access point/verification module may be configured to accept typed text or clicked image access/verification data, token access/verification data or selected image sequence access/verification data. The process of selected image sequence access involves the system user selecting a series of images that represent individual elements of a password without having to type the information into a data entry form.

  • Publication number: 20070208632
    Abstract: A system, apparatus, and methods for conducting secure online monetary transactions are disclosed. One implementation of the system is configured to generate an account associated with a distributed branded media element. The account includes an account balance that may be used to purchase goods/services. A system user accesses the distributed branded media element and initiates an authentication/verification process wherein the distributed branded media element is correlated to the created account. The system may also be configured to coordinate transmitting a payment data generation request to a payment facilitation entity. In response to the request, the payment facilitation entity may create a payment id number for use by the system user to make a purchase of goods or services. The request may specify what type of payment id number is requested, for example a credit or debit card number. The request may define additional usage parameters for the payment id number.
