Patent ID: 8713647

Claim:
A method for facilitating an online transaction session with an end-of-session authentication, comprising the steps of: performing a start-of-session authentication to enable an online transaction session; receiving a request from a user to end the online transaction session; and performing an end-of-session authentication to end the online transaction session, wherein the end-of-session authentication comprises a scope comprising each pre-defined critical transaction from the transaction session and wherein at least one end-of-session credential is different from a credential used to initiate the online transaction session, wherein performing the end-of-session authentication comprises: querying the user to enter the at least one end-of-session credential, and wherein correctly entering the at least one end-of-session credential permits the online transaction session to end without starting another online transaction session; providing the user with a list of actions from the online transaction session; and enabling the user to review the list of actions and to identify, prior to authenticating the online transaction session, any false transactions in the list that were inserted into the online transaction session without user authorization.
