Title: Method and apparatus for authenticating and processing secure transactions using a mobile device
Inventor: MOHAMMED CHAKIB BOUDA
IPC: H04W12/06
Filed: 2015-03-05
Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing secure transactions at a merchant point of sale (POS) using a customers mobile device and a virtual payment gateway (VPG) server. The method comprises authentication of a mobile device and a transaction. The authentication establishes a mobile device transport key (mTK) at the mobile device and a server which is unique to the mobile device, and assigns a mobile application identifier (MAID) to a mobile application of the mobile device. The transaction is based on generating a mobile device transport session key (msTK) derived from a server generated session ID and the mobile device transport key (mTK) generated during activation. The transaction of the requested service is initiated by the customer mobile device through NFC, scanning of QR codes or other contactless methods and is processed without storing confidential data such as financial account data or financial account identification data at the POS and/or the customer mobile. The method virtualizes a secure element on the server, removing the need for a secure element within the mobile device and the associated third parties.
