Abstract: A method and system are presented for making a secure payment transaction using a payment card associated with a consumer which has been registered with a digital wallet. A secure server is arranged, in response to a request from a merchant server in relation to the consumer, to extract from the digital wallet payment credentials for the payment card. The secure server uses the payment credentials and the identity of the merchant server to generate a token. The token is provided to the merchant. To effect a payment transaction, the merchant server returns the token to the secure server with details of the desired payment transaction, and the secure server arranges for the payment transaction to occur, and notifies the merchant server. The merchant server does not receive the payment credentials of the payment card during this process, so even if its security is compromised, the payment credentials are not at risk.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for context-based authentication, via a decentralized network. One example method includes receiving, at a mobile device, from a relying party, a request for an attribute of a user in connection with an interaction between the user and the relying party and determining a type of authentication to be used for the interaction, based on an authentication policy of the relying party and multiple context signals stored in the mobile device prior to providing the attribute to the relying party. The multiple context signals are indicative of one or more patterns indicative of the user and/or the mobile device. The method also includes soliciting authentication data from the user consistent with the determined type of authentication, receiving, by the mobile device, the solicited authentication from the user, and providing the attribute to the relying party in response to the user being authenticated at the mobile device.
