Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for multi-factor authentication for transaction processing are provided. A point-of-transaction device captures customer information, biometric data, and images of identification documents and transmits the information to a transaction information server which receives the transaction request, queries one or more storage records to confirm the identity of the customer to the transaction and to determine whether the customer is authorized to engage in the transaction. The point-of-transaction device communicates a transaction identifier code and at least a portion of the transaction request to a transaction authority. The transaction authority transmits a confirmation signal to the point-of-transaction device based on the transaction identifier code and the transaction request.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for secure transaction processing are provided. A point-of-transaction device may receive a selection of transaction parameters to establish and store a security rule. The point-of-transaction device may then receive a transaction request and confirm that the transaction request complies with the security rule. The point-of-transaction device may forward the security rule and the transaction request to a transaction security server that stores the security rule and further verifies that the transaction request complies with the security rule. The transaction security server may also forward at least a portion of the transaction request to a third party that further confirms an identity of the customer.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for transaction processing are provided. A point-of-transaction device transmits a transaction request to a transaction information server. The transaction information server receives the transaction request, queries one or more storage records to confirm the identity of the customer to the transaction and to determine whether the customer is authorized to engage in the transaction. The transaction information server further establishes a record that ties the customer's identity to the transaction. If so, the transaction information server establishes a transaction identifier code and communicates the code to the point-of-transaction device. The point-of-transaction device communicates the transaction identifier code and at least a portion of the transaction request to a transaction authority. The transaction authority transmits a confirmation signal to the point-of-transaction device based on the transaction identifier code and the transaction request.

Abstract: A client-server arrangement permits recruitment and control of client peripherals to be effected from the server side is described. A client server system has a server device, a client device, and a peripheral device. The client device is in communication with the server device. The peripheral device is in communication with the client device. The client device has a port server to convert data between an IP format and a non-IP format. The peripheral device exchanges data with the port server in the non-IP format. The server device includes a computational device to exchange data with the port server in the IP format.
