  • Publication number: 20230394485
    Abstract: Provided is a method including receiving, by a user device, a request from an identity service to approve communicating a user proof-of-identity to a relying party. A user of the user device is prompted to request a one-time transaction identifier based on the request. Based on a first input from the user, the user device requests the one one-time transaction identifier from the identity service. In response to the request for the one-time transaction identifier, the user device receives the one-time transaction identifier from the identity server and displays the one-time transaction identifier on a first user device screen. The user inputs the one-time transaction identifier on a second user device screen and the user device communicates the one-time transaction identifier to the identity service. In response to receiving the at least one inputted one-time transaction identifier, the relying party determines whether to approve or deny a transaction.

  • Publication number: 20230368199
    Abstract: An authorization control network includes a limit profile database and at least one computer server. The server(s) receives an account identifier and a datum from a communications device, and associates the datum with the account identifier in a limit profile record of the limit profile database. The server(s) also receives the account identifier and a transaction limit, and associates the transaction limit with the account identifier in the limit profile record. The server(s) then receives from a POS device an authorization request that includes the account identifier and an authorization amount. If the server(s) confirms that the authorization amount does not exceed the transaction limit that is associated with the account identifier in the limit profile record and does not exceed an available credit limit that is associated with the account identifier, the server(s) transmits to the POS device an authorization response that confirms authorization of the authorization amount.
