Abstract: A system and method of implementing an API of an authentication service includes implementing a confirmation API, wherein the implementing includes: initiating a confirmation API request based on receiving an access request, wherein the confirmation API request operates to perform an authentication of a requestor making the access request; identifying the requestor based on a search of the requestor via the confirmation API; identifying, by one or more API endpoints of the remote authentication service: (i) a subscriber account of the subscriber maintained by the remote authentication service and (ii) identifying a user device of the requestor that is enrolled with the subscriber account based on the confirmation API request; transmitting a confirmation request to the user device; obtaining from the user device a response to the confirmation request and presenting the response to the confirmation request to the subscriber; and granting or denying the access request.

Abstract: A method of completing a transaction that requires authorization by an authority agent includes registering an authority device as associated with the authority agent, receiving a transaction request from a service provider; pushing an authentication notification to the authenticating application of the authority device; displaying the authentication notification, including a prompt to supply agent verification data, on the authority device; collecting and verifying the agent verification data; in response to verification of the agent verification data, transmitting an authority agent response from the authority device to the authentication platform, and, at the authentication platform, authenticating the authority agent response; and in response to authenticating the authority agent response, transmitting a transaction confirmation from the authentication platform to the service provider.
