Abstract
Apparatus and methods pertaining to a Certified Approval Service (CAS) are disclosed and enabled. The apparatus may include a Personal Computing Device (PCD) implementing a CAS Device to interact with an end user and a server implementing a CAS provider. The various embodiments operate without the end user and the CAS provider to engage in an authenticated login session between themselves.
Claims13
A method, comprising the step of operating a server as a Certified Approval Service (CAS) provider configured and adapted to communicatively interact with at least one Personal Computing Device (PCD), with said PCD configured and adapted for operation by an end user, further comprising the steps of
- A1) operating said CAS Provider in response to a contained CAS provider configuration including an entry associated with a CAS Identifier (CAS ID) related to said end user;
- wherein said entry enables said server to securely communicate with said PCD without said end user engaging said server in an authenticated login session;
- and
- A2) authentically operating said PCD by said end user using (said CAS ID) to securely communicate with said server without said end user engaging said server in said authenticated login session;
- wherein said method further comprises the steps of:
- E1) operating said server with said CAS provider configuration including a second entry associated with a second CAS ID and a second PCD login authentication, with said second CAS ID identifying a second end user interaction;
- wherein said second PCD is adapted and configured for operation by said second end user interaction;
- wherein said server cannot respond to said second entry by engaging said second end user interaction in a second authenticated session with said server;
- E2) operating said second PCD with a second CAS device configuration including a second CAS ID authentication configuration;
- and
- E3) operating said second PCD in response to said second end user interaction and in response to said second CAS ID authentication configuration to determine at least one authentic interaction by said second user interaction to create an authentic request for approval by said end user interaction associated with said first CAS ID of a transaction;
- and
- A3) wherein said method solves at least one member of a technical problems group consisting of:
- a theft of authentication data, a fake request, a fake approval, and a stolen password.
The method of 1, further comprising the steps of:
- Bi) operating said PCD to send a request that said CAS ID be associated with said end user operating said PCD without said end user engaging said server in said authenticated session;
- and B2) operating said server to implement said entry associated with said CAS ID in response to receiving said request, without engaging in said authenticated session, further comprising the steps of C1) operating said server to generate a PCD login authentication as part of said entry, wherein said PCB login authentication cannot engage said end user in said authenticated session with said server, C2) operating said server to securely send a CAS device configuration to said PCD without said server engaging said end user in said authenticated session;
- and C3) operating said PCD in response to receiving said CAS device configuration to create said CAS device configuration in said PCD with a PCD login authentication, which cannot engage said end user in said authenticated session with said server.
