Patent EP-1215636-A3 (EP)
Inventor: BLACK JONATHAN SIMON
IPC: G06Q20/00
Filed: 2001-10-24
Abstract: A method is provided of authorising third parties to
conduct financial transactions via an ATM (12). A user (16)
firstly encrypts details of a transaction to be performed
on a personal digital assistant (PDA) or similar device,
and then transfers the encrypted data to a third party
device (18). The third party lacks the decryption key, and
is unable to access the transaction details or details of
the user's account. The third party then accesses an ATM
(12) and transfers the encrypted data to the ATM. The ATM
operator (14) is able to decrypt the data, and performs the
transaction. The transaction may include data limiting its
performance to specific time periods, location, or
repetitions.
