  • Publication number: 20190197815
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for use in providing digital identities for users. One exemplary method includes receiving, at a card device, an authentication request and a captured first biometric of the user, from a communication device associated with the user, and comparing the first biometric and a first biometric reference at the card device, when the first biometric reference is stored in at the card device. The method also includes capturing, at the card device, a second biometric of the user and comparing the second biometric to a second biometric reference stored at the card device. The method further includes compiling a response to the authentication request including a first indicator associated with the comparison of the first biometric to the first biometric reference and a second indicator associated with the comparison of the second biometric to the second biometric reference, and transmitting the response to the communication device.

  • Publication number: 20190199714
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for use in provisioning a biometric image template of a user to a card device associated with the user. One exemplary method includes authenticating, by a card device, a portable communication device associated with the user based on a certificate associated with the portable communication device and receiving, at the card device, a biometric image of the user from the portable communication device after the portable communication device is authenticated. The method then includes storing, by the card device, the biometric image of the user in a memory of the card device as a biometric image template of the user, whereby the user may be authenticated, by the card device, based on a subsequent biometric image matching the biometric image template.

  • Publication number: 20180165676
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media relate to smartcard biometric enrollment. In an embodiment that does not require a user to visit a central location to provide fingerprint images, an activation code corresponding to a unique ID that uniquely identifies a user of a service is generated and sent to the user. In response, at least one finger image is received from a user device. The image is processed to isolate a fingerprint image, which is used to generate a biometric template that is sent to a smartcard manufacturer and used to configure a smartcard for biometric authentication of the user. In another embodiment, a kiosk/ATM provides smartcard biometric enrollment by detecting a smartcard in the smartcard reader, verifying an ID of a user associated with the smartcard, capturing a biometric image from the user, processing the biometric image to generate a biometric template, and storing the biometric template on the smartcard.

  • Publication number: 20100318463
    Abstract: Placement of a hold amount against a payment card account of a customer is facilitated, in response to the customer presenting a payment device, associated with the payment card account, in connection with a non-PIN, signature-based, dual-message transaction with a merchant. The presenting of the payment device is prior to a time when an amount of the transaction can be determined. Subsequent to the placement of the hold amount, immediately after the time when the amount of the transaction can be determined, transmission of an authorization advice message from an acquirer associated with the merchant to an issuer of the payment device is facilitated. The authorization advice message indicates the amount of the transaction. A further step includes facilitating the issuer of the payment device releasing any portion of the hold amount which exceeds the amount of the transaction, immediately responsive to the authorization advice message.
