Publication number: 20240095729Abstract: A computer-implemented method for authenticating a user device via a device credential scoped to a common domain shared among a plurality of payment networks may be provided. The method may include receiving, by a server of a payment network, a first request redirected from a sub-domain assigned to the payment network to a domain name associated with the payment network, responsive to the first request, transmitting, to the user device, an authentication request comprising a challenge, a user identifier that identifies the user, and the common domain to which the device credential is scoped, receiving, from the user device, a response, accessing the device credential, the device credential having been stored by the payment network, validating the response based on the device credential, and causing, by the server, the user identifier and the device credential to be federated to the other ones of the plurality of payment networks based on the validating.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: MASTERCARD INTERNATIONAL INCORPORATEDInventors: Edward Neil LIVINGSTON, Rory MACDONALD, Robert OUELLETTE, Grace LIM, Fred M.
