Abstract: A pre-authenticated token system includes an identification token having a switch, a transmitter and receiver circuit, and a sensor; a docking station having control circuitry, a transmit/receive circuit and an antenna; a personal computer; and an authentication server computer. The personal computer transmits security information to the authentication server, receives authentication information, and transmits an authentication signal to the docking station. The docking station receives the authentication signal, enters an authentication mode, and transmits the authentication signal to the identification token. The sensor of the identification token detects removal of the identification token from the user's body, and the switch then responds by disabling the identification token to prevent transmission of identification data.

Abstract: A design element is displayed on a display screen. The design element is modulated over time to encode data in the design element. The design element is presented by a merchant. A camera component of a mobile device is used to capture images over time of the design element. A payment application in the mobile device analyzes the captured images to obtain the encoded data. The payment application uses the encoded data to establish a communication channel with a merchant device operated by the merchant. As a result of communication over the communication channel, a purchase transaction is implemented, including transmission of payment credentials to the merchant from the payment application.

Abstract: A payment system transaction authorization server computer, or another computer, performs calculations to determine a transaction count value stored in a payment device for which a transaction authorization request was sent to the authorization server computer. The computer in question “guesses” appropriate transaction count values, and then attempts to duplicate an encryption calculation result that was originally generated by the payment device and that was included in the transaction authorization request.
