The present invention relates to electronic transactions. More specifically, the present invention relates to system and method for selectively initiating biometric authentication for enhanced security of electronic transactions.
Electronic transactions—such as for payments or access to a facility or computer—can be conducted using electronic portable transaction devices, such as smart cards or mobile devices. A smart card is a device that includes an embedded integrated circuit chip that can be either a secure processing module (e.g., microprocessor, microcontroller or equivalent intelligence) operating with an internal or external memory or a memory chip alone. Smart cards can provide identification, authentication, data storage, and application processing, Smart cards can serve as credit or ATM debit cards, phone or fuel cards, and high-security access-control cards for granting access to a computer or a physical facility. Smart cards can authenticate identity of the user by employing a token, such as public key infrastructure (PKI) and one-time-password (OTP). In addition, smart cards can be configured for a biometric authentication to provide an additional layer of security.
Similarly, mobile devices such as smartphones, PDAs, tablets, and laptops can provide a platform for electronic transactions. For example, a user of a mobile device can conduct an electronic transaction for purchase of a product or service using an application that communicates with a mobile payment service. Mobile devices can be configured for a token-based authentication and/or a biometric authentication.
Additional layers of security, however, may not always be necessary, or desired. For example, biometric authentication may not need to occur for low-value or routine transactions, such as purchases below a certain amount. What is needed is a method of enhanced security that may be selectively applied based on the nature of the transaction.
Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to selectively enhancing security of electronic transactions through the use of authentication thresholds.
In accordance with the technology described herein, a method of selectively initiating biometric authentication for financial transactions comprises identifying a transaction amount associated with an electronic transaction involving an electronic portable transaction device; retrieving a threshold amount from a data storage device; comparing the transaction amount from a data storage device; and initiating a biometric authentication process if the transaction amount matches or exceeds the threshold amount.
In accordance with the technology described herein, a device for selectively initiating biometric authentication for financial transactions comprises a processing module configured to execute a program configured to: identify a transaction amount associated with an electronic transaction involving an electronic portable transaction device; retrieve a threshold amount from a data storage device; compare the transaction amount and the threshold amount; and initiate a biometric authentication process if the transaction amount exceeds the threshold amount; and a memory configured to store the program.
Other features and aspects of the disclosed technology will become apparent from the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which illustrate, by way of example, the features in accordance with embodiments of the disclosed technology. The summary is not intended to limit the scope of any inventions described herein, which are defined solely by the claims attached hereto.
The technology disclosed herein, in accordance with one or more various embodiments, is described in detail with reference to the following figures. The drawings are provided for purposes of illustration only and merely depict typical or example embodiments of the disclosed technology. These drawings are provided to facilitate the reader's understanding of the disclosed technology and shall not be considered limiting of the breadth, scope, or applicability thereof. It should be noted that for clarity and ease of illustration these drawings are not necessarily made to scale.
The present disclosure addresses this and other problems associated with enhanced layers of security for electronic transactions by providing a procedure for selectively initiating biometric authentication of an electronic portable transaction device. In certain aspects of the present disclosure, the selective initiation of biometric authentication can be based on thresholds associated with the need for biometric authentication (hereinafter “threshold-based authentication procedure”). For financial transactions, biometric authentication can be initiated based on a comparison between a transaction amount of a transaction involving an electronic portable transaction device and a threshold amount associated with the user's account. For access control transactions, biometric authentication can be initiated based on a comparison between an access security level associated with an access domain and an access permission level associated with an electronic portable transaction device.
In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth to provide a full understanding of various aspects of the subject disclosure. It will be apparent, however, to one ordinarily skilled in the art that various aspects of the subject disclosure may be practiced without some of these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and techniques have not been shown in detail to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the subject disclosure.
The PTD 110 can conduct various types of electronic transactions with the TPS 130 via the interface device 120. For financial transaction applications, the PTD 110 can be a smart payment card such as a smart credit, debit, and/or prepaid card, or a smartphone with a payment transaction application. The TPS 130 can be a payment processing system of a merchant (e.g., Target®), a bank (e.g., Bank of America®), or a card issuer (e.g., Vise). The interface device 120 can be a point of sale (POS) terminal that can communicate with the PTD 110 using a contact method (e.g., matching male and female contact pads) or a contactless method (e.g., RFID, Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi, ZigBee).
For access control applications, the PTD 110 can be a smart access card for providing access to a facility or computer. The TPS 130 can be a server in a central computer system, or a dedicated access controller that controls an access to a facility or computer. Interface device 120 can be a card reader that can communicate with the PTD 110 using a contact method (e.g., contact pads) or a contactless method (e.g., RFID, Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi, ZigBee).
In the illustrated example of
In the illustrated embodiment of
The interface 116 and the interface 126 provide a communication link between the PTD 310 and the interface device 320. Using this communication link, the PTD 110 can communicate authentication- and/or transaction-related data with the interface device 120 and/or the TPS 130. In some embodiments, the PTD 110 can also receive power in the form of a voltage and/or current from the interface device 120 via the interfaces 116, 126. In certain embodiments, the interfaces 116, 126 can include a pair of male and female contact pads provided in the PTD (e.g., a smart card) and the interface device (e.g., a POS terminal). In some embodiments, the interfaces 116, 126 can include a pair of transceivers supporting wireless standards such as RFID, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, NFT, and ZigBee. In some embodiments, the interface 116 can be a display of the mobile terminal that presents a code (e.g., a bar code or QR code) and the interface 126 can be an optical/infrared code scanner coupled to a POS terminal. In some embodiments, the interfaces 116,126 are a pair of wireless transceivers in a mobile device (e.g., a smartphone) and a POS terminal, respectively. In some embodiments, where the PTD 110 is a contactless smart card and the interface device 120 is a mobile device (e.g., a smartphone), the interfaces 116, 126 can include a pair of wireless transceivers in the contactless smart card and the mobile device, respectively.
In some embodiments, the PTD 110 is a mobile device that communicates with the TPS 130 via a wide area wireless network, such as a 3G UMTS or 4G LTE network, without the need for an interface device 120. In some embodiments, the PTD 110 is a smart card having a wireless capability that allows the card to communicate with the TPS 130 via a cellular network, such as a 3G UMTS or 4G LTE network, without the need for an interface device 120.
In certain embodiments, the processor 112 is configured to perform an authentication procedure using a security token stored in the memory 114. Such a token-based authentication procedure is known in the art, and an exemplary procedure is described in “EMV® Payment Tokenisation Specification, Technical Framework” version 1.0, March 2014, which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
In certain embodiments, the PTD 110 can include a biometric authentication module 350 that includes a control 352 and a biometric sensor 355. In other embodiments, the biometric authentication module 350 can be in the interface device (e.g., a POS terminal) instead of in the PTD 110. Biometric authentication can begin with the collection of a digital biometric sample (e.g., bitmap image of user's fingerprint) using the biometric sensor 355. Useful features contained in the collected sample are then extracted and formatted into a template record that can be matched against other template records. In various embodiments, the template is stored at registration (and when combined with identity vetting, establishes an identity) in a memory (not shown) inside the biometric authentication module 350 or in one of the first and second memories 113, 114. When a transaction takes place, the biometric sensor 355 can measure the same biometric characteristic and the control 352 can process the measured biometric characteristic into a template format, and compare the template to the previously registered template.
Biometric measurements may vary slightly from one measurement to the next. This variation is not typically due to changes in the biometric feature being measured but to the mechanism and environment in which the data are captured. Therefore, a biometric sample measured at registration may not precisely match the results of the live sample measurement. As a result of this variability, in various embodiments a similarity score is generated and this score is compared against a pre-determined threshold value to determine what constitutes an acceptable match.
Enhanced security may be applied to electronic transactions only when the nature of the electronic transaction breaches a certain threshold associated with electronic transactions, such as financial transactions or access control transactions. With a reference to the embodiment of
For access transactions, the threshold may be an access security level. The access security level is a value indicative of a security level associated with an access control domain (e.g., a lab in a facility). When a user attempts new access transaction involving the PTD 310, the access security level associated with an access control domain is compared with an access permission level associated with the PTD 310. In some embodiments, the access permission level, access security level, or both may be stored in one of the memory 114, 124, and 134. In various embodiments, the comparison is performed by the processing module 132 at the TPS 330. In other embodiments, the comparison is performed by the processing module 122 at the interface device 120. In some embodiments, the comparison is performed by the processing module 112 at the PTD 310. In some embodiments, the comparison can be performed by more than one device. For example, in an embodiment where the PTD 310 is a smart card (e.g., a smart card payment), the TPS 330 is a payment processing system, and the interface device is a mobile terminal (e.g., a smartphone) that communicates with the smart card (using e.g., RFID, Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi, or ZigBee) and the TPS 330 (using e.g., a cellular network), the smart card can perform one comparison and the mobile terminal can perform another comparison as described further below with respect to
In some embodiments, a threshold-based authentication procedure can be requested by a device that is different from a device that performs the threshold-based authentication procedure (e.g., comparison of the threshold amount and transaction amount). For example, the TPS 330 can send a request for a threshold-based authentication procedure in connection with a new financial transaction involving the PTD 310. In some embodiments, the TPS 330 can also send the threshold amount associated with PTD 310 stored in database 134. The processor 122 at the interface device 320 can receive the request and the threshold amount from the TPS 330, determine a transaction amount for the current transaction involving the PTD 310, and compare the threshold amount and the transaction amount for a match. In other embodiments, the interface device 320 passes the request and the threshold amount received from the TPS 330 to the PTD 310, and the processor 112 at the PTD 310 receives the request and the threshold amount from the interface device 320, determine a transaction amount for the current transaction involving the PTD, and compare the threshold amount and the transaction amount for a match. In some embodiments where the PTD 310 (e.g., a smartphone) has the capability to communicate with a cellular network, such as a 3G UMTS or 4G LTE network, the PTD 310 can receive the request and the threshold amount from the TPS 330 via the cellular network without involving an interface device such as a POS terminal.
In some embodiments, the PTD 310 can send a request for a threshold-based authentication procedure in connection with a new financial transaction involving the PTD 310. In some embodiments, the PTD 310 can also send a threshold amount involving the PTD 310 that are stored in the memory 114. The processor 122 at the interface device 320 can receive the request and the threshold amount from the PTD 310, determine a transaction amount associated with the current transaction, and compare the threshold amount and transaction amount for a match. In other embodiments, the interface device 320 passes the request and the threshold amount received from the PTD 310 to the TPS 330, and the processor (e.g., server) 132 at the TPS 330 receives the request and the threshold from the interface device 320, determines a transaction amount associated with the current transaction involving the PTD 310, and compares the threshold amount and the transaction amount for a match. In some embodiments where the PTD 310 (e.g., a smartphone) has the capability to communicate with a cellular network, such as a 3G UMTS or 4G LTE network, the PTD 310 can send the request and the first record to the TPS 330 via the cellular network without involving an interface device such as a POS terminal.
In some embodiments, the interface device 320 can request a threshold-based authentication procedure related to a financial transaction by sending a request to either the PTD 310 or the TPS 330. If the request is sent to the PTD 310, the processing module 122 at the interface device 320 can retrieve a threshold amount for transactions involving the PTD 310 from the user database 134 at the TPS 330 and send the threshold amount to the PTD 310. The processing module 112 at the PTD 310 can receive the request and the threshold amount from the interface device 320, determine a transaction amount for the current transaction involving the PTD 310, and perform a comparison between the threshold amount and the transaction amount for a match. In various embodiments, if the request is sent to the TPS 330, the processing module 122 at the interface device 320 can retrieve a threshold amount involving the PTD 310 from the memory 114 at the PTD 310 and send the threshold amount to the TPS 330. The server 132 at the TPS 330 can receive the request and the threshold amount from the interface device 320, determine a transaction amount for the current transaction involving the PTD 310, and perform a comparison between the threshold amount and the transaction amount for a match. In other embodiments, the TPS 330 may already store the threshold amount in memory 134
Although the above threshold-based authentication procedure has been described in regards to financial transactions, the same embodiments are applicable to access transactions. Instead of determining a transaction amount associated with the current transaction, the PTD 310, TPS 330, or interface device 320 may retrieve an access permission level associated with the PTD 310, described above. The same comparison process would occur.
Various example arrangements of electronic transaction systems implementing a threshold-based authentication procedure are described below with respect to
To enable communication between the payment processing system 430 and the merchant's internal payment transaction system 401, the interface devices 420A-E and the server 442 in the internal payment transaction system 401 have wired or wireless connections to an internal communication network 404 (e.g., Intranet), which is in turn connected a wide area network 406 (e.g., Internet). In this manner, the POS terminals 420A-E, the smart payment cards 410A-E, and the server 442 can engage in data communication with the server(s) 432 at the payment processing system 430.
In the illustrated example of
The interface device 420B is a fixed POS terminal that is configured to operate with a contactless smart payment card 410B and has a wired connection (e.g., wired Ethernet) to the internal communication network 404. During a payment transaction, the contactless smart payment card 410B is placed adjacent to the POS terminal 420B for wireless data communication. For this purpose, the contactless smart payment card 410B and the POS terminal 420B can be equipped with transceivers based on a wireless standard or technology, such as RFID, Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi, and ZigBee.
The interface device 420C is a portable POS terminal that is configured to operate with a contact smart payment card 410C, and the portable POS terminal 420C has a wireless connection (e.g., wireless Ethernet) to the internal communication network 404. During a payment transaction, the contact smart payment card 410C is inserted into the portable POS terminal 420C for data communication. In various embodiments, the contact smart payment card 410C can be equipped with male contact pads and the POS terminal 420C can be equipped with corresponding female contact pads or vice versa. Other methods of providing contact-based communication coupling between the contact smart payment card 410C and the POS terminal 420C including, micro connectors, can be utilized.
The interface device 420D is a portable POS terminal that is configured to operate with a contactless smart payment card 410D, and POS terminal 420D has a wireless connection (e.g., wireless Ethernet) to the internal communication network 404. During a payment transaction, the contactless smart payment card 410D is placed adjacent to the portable POS terminal 420D for wireless data communication. For this purpose, the contactless smart payment card 410D and the POS terminal 420D can be equipped with transceivers based on a wireless standard or technology, such as RFID, Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi, and ZigBee.
The interface device 420E is a fixed POS terminal that is configured to operate with a mobile device (e.g., a smartphone, PDA, tablet), and has either a wired connection (e.g., wired Ethernet) or a wireless connection (e.g., Wi-Fi) to the internal communication network 404. During a payment transaction, the mobile terminal 410E is placed adjacent to the POS terminal 420E for wireless data communication. For this purpose, the mobile terminal 410E and the POS terminal 420E can be equipped with transceivers based on a wireless standard or technology such as RFID, Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi, and ZigBee. In certain alternative embodiments, the POS terminal 420E can have a wireless connection (e.g., wireless Ethernet) to the internal communication network 404. In some embodiments, the POS terminal 420E can be equipped with an optical scanner or camera that can read a code (e.g., bar code or QR code) displayed on a display of the mobile terminal 410E.
For ease of illustration only, without any intent to limit the scope of the present disclosure in any way, various aspects of operation of the electronic payment transaction system 400 will be described with respect to a financial transaction involving the contact smart payment card 410A and the POS terminal 420A. It shall be appreciated by those skilled in the art in view of the present disclosure that the described operation is applicable to other portable transaction devices (e.g., 410B-E) and interface devices (e.g., 420B-E), and for different types of transactions, such as access transactions (e.g., access to a facility or computer).
In operation, a new transaction is initiated when a user presents the smart payment card 410A at the POS terminal 420A to pay for products and/or services by, for example, inserting the card 410A into the POS terminal 421 as shown in
In certain embodiments, such additional authentication procedures may not be needed or desired. In various embodiments, a threshold-based authentication procedure is performed at the payment processing system 430. By way of example, after making a data connection with the card 410A, the POS terminal 420A can retrieve (e.g., request and receive) a threshold amount from the card 410A. The POS terminal 420A can also determine a transaction amount for the current transaction involving the card 410A. The POS terminal 420A can send a request for approval of the new transaction to the payment processing system 430 along with the threshold amount retrieved from the card 410A and the determined transaction amount. The server(s) 432 at the payment processing system 420 receives the request, the threshold amount, and the transaction amount, and performs a comparison of the threshold amount and the transaction amount.
In certain embodiments, the threshold-based authentication procedure is performed at the POS terminal 420A. By way of example, after making a data connection with the card 410A, the POS terminal 420A can retrieve a threshold amount and a transaction amount from the card 410A. The processor 122 at the POS terminal 420A performs a threshold-based authentication by determining whether the transaction amount received from the card 410A matches or exceeds the threshold amount. In some embodiments, the POS terminal 420A can determine the transaction amount instead of receiving the transaction amount from card 410A.
In certain embodiments, the threshold-based authentication is performed at the smart payment card 410A. By way of example, after making a data connection with the card 410A, the POS terminal 420A can retrieve a threshold amount from server(s) 432 at the payment processing system 420. The POS terminal 420A, upon receiving the threshold amount from the payment processing system, sends the threshold amount to the card 410A. The processor 112 at the card 410A performs a threshold-based authentication by comparing a transaction amount associated with the current transaction determined by the card 410A with the threshold amount received from the payment processing system 430 via the POS terminal 420A.
The first electronic payment transaction 501 involves a contact smart payment card 510A coupled to the mobile terminal 520A via a smart card reader 525 and conducting a payment transaction with the payment processing system 530 via the cellular network 506. The second electronic payment transaction 502 involves a contactless smart payment card 510B wirelessly coupled to the mobile terminal 520B and conducting a payment transaction with the payment processing system 530 via the cellular network 506. The third electronic payment transaction 503 involves the mobile terminal 510C as a portable transaction device and an interface device. In some embodiments, mobile terminal 510 can capture an image of a code (e.g., a bar or QR code) associated with a product printed on a package of the product, in a catalog, or advertisement using an image capture device (e.g., a camera) and conducting a payment transaction for the product with the payment processing system 530 via the cellular network 506.
In each of these payment transactions 501, 502, 503, a threshold-based authentication procedure similar to the threshold-based authentication procedures described above with respect to
For the second payment transaction 502 a comparison of a threshold amount and a transaction amount involving the smart payment card 510B can be performed by server(s) 532 at the payment processing system 530, a processor in the mobile terminal 520B, or a processor in the smart payment card 510B. The first record can be stored in a memory in the smart payment card 510B, the database 534 at the payment processing system 530, or in a memory in the mobile terminal 520B.
For the third payment transaction 503, a comparison of a threshold amount and a transaction amount involving the mobile terminal 510C can be performed by server(s) 532 at the payment processing system 530 or a processor in the mobile terminal 510C. The first record can be stored in a memory in the mobile terminal 510C, and the second record can be stored in the database 534.
The threshold-based authentication procedure may be implemented in an access control system. The access control system may be implemented for access to a facility, one or more rooms within the facility, a computing device, a computer network, or a combination thereof.
In other embodiments, the access domain may include one or more computing device, such as a desktop, laptop, or other computing equipment implemented in a facility. In other embodiments, the access domain may be one or more computing networks implemented within an access control system. For example, a facility operator may employ multiple computer networks, one for each of various security levels.
In the first facility access transaction 701, a user presents the smart access card 710A to the card reader 720B to gain access to a facility. The card reader 720B can communicate with the card 710A using one of various contact or contactless methods, including non-limiting examples described above. In the second facility access transaction 702, a user presents the smart access fob 710A to the fob reader 720B to gain access to the facility.
In each of these facility access transactions 701, 702, a threshold-based authentication procedure similar to the threshold-based authentication procedures described above with respect to
In the first computer access transaction 801, a user can insert a contact smart access card 810A into a card reader 820A coupled to the desktop computer 850A for access to the desktop computer 850A and/or the central computer system 832. In the illustrated example, the desktop computer 850A is coupled to the network 808 via a wired connection. In the second computer access transaction 802, a user can place a contactless smart access card 810B adjacent to a card reader 820B coupled to a laptop computer 850B for access to the laptop computer 850B and/or the server(s) 832 and the database 834 in the central computer system 830. The laptop computer 850B is coupled to the network 808 via a wireless connection.
In each of these computer access transactions 801, 802, a threshold-based authentication procedure similar to the threshold-based authentication procedures described above with respect to
Although financial transactions and access control transactions have been described separately, the same basic threshold-based authentication process applies. A parameter associated with the electronic transaction involving an electronic portable transaction device (transaction amount/access security level) is compared with a threshold (threshold amount/access permission level). If the parameter exceeds the threshold, additional authentication procedures may be initiated. If the parameter does not exceed the threshold, the transaction may be completed without further authentication of the user.
The process 900 starts at state 901 and proceeds to operation 910, in which a processing module in a device identifies a transaction amount associated with an electronic transaction involving an electronic portable transaction device. The transaction amount is a total of all the goods and/or services a user is requesting to purchase during the transaction. The identification may be performed by an electronic portable transaction device, a transaction processing system configured to process financial transactions involving the electronic portable transaction device, or an interface device configured to facilitate communications between the electronic portable transaction device and the transaction processing system. Non-limiting examples of the electronic portable transaction device a smart payment card or a mobile terminal configured for payment transactions. Non-limiting examples of the interface device include a fixed or portable POS terminal, a mobile terminal, and a contract or contactless smart card or smart fob readers.
The process 900 proceeds to operation 920, in which a processing module in the authentication device retrieves a threshold amount from a data storage device. The data storage device can be a memory (e.g., database) at the transaction processing system, a memory in the electronic portable transaction device, or a memory in the interface device. The data storage device may be in the authentication device or in another device in the electronic transaction system. The threshold amount may be a predetermined amount above which biometric authentication is required before the transaction is allowed to be completed.
The process 900 proceeds to operation 930, in which a processing module in the authentication device compares the identified transaction amount and the threshold amount.
The process 900 proceeds to query state 940, in which a processing module in the authentication device determines if the transaction amount matches or exceeds the threshold amount. If the answer to the query is “yes” (i.e., the transaction amount exceeds the threshold), the process 900 proceeds to operation 850, in which the processing module initiates biometric authentication. In various embodiments, the authentication device may include a biometric authentication module, such as the module discussed above with regards to
On the other hand, if the answer to the query at the state 940 is “no” (i.e., the transaction amount is less than the threshold amount), the process 900 proceeds to operation 960, in which a processing module in the authentication device allows the transaction to continue without requiring additional biometric authentication. The process 900 ends a state 970.
On the other hand, if the answer to the query at the state 1020 is “no” (i.e., access security level is less than the access permission level), the process 1000 proceeds to operation 1040, in which a processing module in the device permits access to the access domain without requiring additional biometric authentication. The process 1000 ends a state 1050.
It shall be appreciated by those skilled in the art in view of the present disclosure that there are numerous possible pairs of a requesting device and an authentication device. In the electronic payment system 400 of
The process 1200 proceeds to operation 1220, where the fixed access control device receives an indication of an access permission level associated with the electronic portable transaction device from the electronic portable transaction device. The access permission level may be stored in a memory within the electronic portable transaction device. The process 1200 proceeds to operations 1230, 1240, 1250, and 1260, which operate in a similar way to operations 1010, 1020, 1030, and 1040 of
It shall be appreciated by those skilled in the art in view of the present disclosure that various described operations of the exemplary processes 900, 1000, 1100, and 1200 may be performed in different orders, optionally skipped, and/or removed.
