Patent number: 9911121Abstract: A method and apparatus for conducting a secure transaction involving generation of a dynamic authentication code on a mobile device, based on secret data which does not identify an account. The authentication code and financial account identifying information are transmitted to a validating entity, which shares information about the secret data, to authorize the transaction.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2007Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Assignee: MASTERCARD INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATEDInventor: John Wankmueller

Patent number: 9514458Abstract: A Chip Authentication Program based on 3-D Secure protocols is provided for authenticating customers' on-line transactions. An issuer, who may be a payment card issuer, operates Access Control and Authentication Request Servers for authenticating transactions by individual customers who are identified by their personal EMV-complaint smart cards. An authentication token is generated at the point of interaction (POI) for each transaction based on information from the customer's smart card and transaction specific information sent directly by the issuer to populate a web page at the POI. Authentication tokens generated at the POI are evaluated by the Authentication Request Server to authenticate individual customer and/or card presence at the transaction POI. Authentication values are transported on-line in designated Universal Cardholder Authentication Fields consistent with 3-D Secure protocols.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2004Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: MASTERCARD INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATEDInventors: Bruce Rutherford, Alfred Dagher, Mark Wiseman, Didier Jean Marie Charles Paie, Jean-Paul Edmond Rans, Fikret Ates, John Wankmueller

Patent number: 8627080Abstract: Methods and systems for mutual authentication and personalizing a transaction device, such as a payment, transaction, or identity card. Successively generated one time codes are calculated by a first and second entity. One of the codes is transmitted to the second entity, which verifies the code is proper, then encrypts a second one time code using a third one time code and transmits the encrypted data to the first entity. The first entity decrypts the data using the third one time code, verifies the encrypted second one time code is proper, thereby mutually authenticating, and establishing a shared encryption key for subsequent communications, including transmission of personalization data.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2012Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: MasterCard International IncorporatedInventors: John Wankmueller, Dave Anthony Roberts, Paul Michael Evans

Patent number: 8555358Abstract: A secure electronic payment system and method for conducting a secure transaction using voice authentication is provided. A merchant's computer transmits an authorization request to an access control server. The access control server places a telephone call to the purchaser and performs voice authentication to confirm the identity of the purchaser. The access control server then transmits a response to the merchant's computer. If the purchaser is authorized to access the account, payment is processed by the merchant and the transaction is completed.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2008Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: MasterCard International IncorporatedInventor: John Wankmueller

Patent number: 8317109Abstract: A payment device includes a memory, a processor coupled to the memory, a communications module coupled to the processor and configured to interact with a payment terminal, a sound-producing element coupled to the processor, and an associated body portion. The memory is configured to store at least one representation of at least one sound and the processor is configured to cause the sound-producing element to produce a sound corresponding to the at least one representation of the at least one sound when such representation is stored in the memory, responsive to the communications module interacting with the payment terminal, substantially without usage of a battery on the device. Visual stimuli can be employed in addition to or in lieu of sounds. Sounds can be downloaded to devices with or without batteries, as part of a service offering.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2011Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Mastercard International IncorporatedInventors: Leland Stanford Englebardt, John Wankmueller, David A Roberts

Patent number: 8150767Abstract: A method is provided for conducting a transaction over a computer network (such as the Internet) where the remote wallet server conducts a transaction with a merchant computer in a format substantially compliant with a chip card electronic commerce protocol or specification, regardless of whether or not the payment card of the consumer involved in the transaction is a chip card.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2001Date of Patent: April 3, 2012Assignee: MasterCard International IncorporatedInventor: John Wankmueller

Patent number: 8151335Abstract: A proxy authentication method and apparatus is described for use in user authentication, e.g. for payment transactions. The authentication is carried out before the transaction between a electronic, e.g. digital identification device and a person terminal. Verification information is entered at the personal terminal to authenticate the user and if this is successful a verification flag is set in the digital identification device. The status of this flag, or an encrypted version thereof can be used by a transaction terminal of evidence that the user has been authenticated without having to transmit any secret identification information to the transaction terminal.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2006Date of Patent: April 3, 2012Assignee: MasterCard International IncorporatedInventors: John Wankmueller, Cristian Radu, David Anthony Roberts

Publication number: 20100228668Abstract: A proximity device transmits a first dynamic authentication value contactlessly to a terminal. The first authentication value is included in a discretionary data field of message data arranged in an ISO Track 1 and/or ISO Track 2 format. Message data is sent from the terminal to an issuer. The issuer separately derives a second authentication value and compares it with the first authentication value. An identifier associated with the primary account number (PAN) is also used and transmitted instead of the PAN.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2009Publication date: September 9, 2010Inventors: Edward J.

Patent number: 7636694Abstract: An apparatus and method by which a user or cardholder can be given an Electronic-Commerce PIN that bears no discernible relation to the ATM PIN, but from which the ATM PIN can be cryptographically determined using the cardholder's account number and an issuer-unique “conversion” secret key. The intent is that the Maestro Master Debit Switch, or else the Member Interface Processor, whichever is appropriate to a given issuer, can “convert” an Electronic-Commerce PIN to an ATM PIN, so that the member, by verifying the ATM PIN, is in effect verifying the Electronic-Commerce PIN. If the Electronic-Commerce PIN is entered incorrectly, it will convert into an incorrect ATM PIN. Thus the member's EDP facility need not deal with two PINs, yet the ATM PIN is not exposed to possible compromise in PCs or other electronic-commerce equipment. The suggested approach ensures that any disclosure of the Electronic-Commerce PIN does not disclose the ATM PIN.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 1999Date of Patent: December 22, 2009Assignee: Mastercard International IncorporatedInventors: John Wankmueller, Carl Campbell
