  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CREDIT CARD PROTECTION
    Publication number: 20140279545
    Abstract: Systems, computer programs and methods are provided to protect consumer credit card data and/or other private information by tying such information to a particular hardware identification number, such as without limitation an individual Media Access Control (MAC) Address of a user's computer and/or mobile device. Credit card or other data is registered and associated with a hardware identification number for computer(s) or mobile device(s) of the registrant. Then, when a transaction involving the credit card occurs, the hardware identification number for the device initiating the transaction is compared with the registered hardware identification number for the credit card. If the numbers do not match, the transaction is not allowed to complete, preventing those without the hardware identification from using the registered credit card, debit card, or other registered item.
