Automating calls between separate and distinct applications for invoking an identity verification function

Abstract

A method, software and system allows for the novel and seamless integration between disparate hardware and software systems to facilitate strong authentication and identity assertion of an individual as an integral component of transaction processing. The method, software and system can combine quick response (QR) code(s) with more custom mobile device uniform resource locator (URL) scheme(s) to seamlessly invoke mobile application(s) that enable an end user to perform strong, multi-factor authentication as a component of completing a transaction. The use of mobile application(s) can simplify and automate the conveyance of transaction details between computing platforms and devices to allow a user to fully participate in a transaction approval process with a simplified, convenient experience.
