Systems and methods for integrated, secure point-of-sale transactions having a peripheral authentication protocol

A system for processing transactions, comprising:

• a. a base station comprising:
• i. a processor;
• ii. a payment module configured to perform payment transactions;
• iii. a Wi-Fi communication module;
• and
• iv. a first Wi-Fi transportation Application, which causes the processor to control the payment module and the Wi-Fi communication module;
• and
• b. at least one mobile device comprising:
• i. a processor;
• ii. a payment user interface configured to allow a user to perform payment transactions with the payment module;
• iii. a Point of Sale (POS) module configured to perform Point of Sale operations
• iv. a Wi-Fi Communication module;
• and
• v. a second Wi-Fi transportation Application, which causes the processor to control the POS module and the Wi-Fi communications module;
• c. At least one peripheral device configured to communicate with at least one of the base station and the at least one mobile device, wherein the at least one peripheral device comprises a processor and a third Wi-Fi transportation application, which causes the processor to control the peripheral device;
• d. wherein the first Wi-Fi transportation application is configured to cause the processor of the base station to prevent the payment module and the Wi-Fi communication module of the base station from communicating with the at least one peripheral device unless the third Wi-Fi transportation application has been authenticated by the first Wi-Fi transportation application;
• e. wherein the second Wi-Fi transportation application is configured to cause the processor of the at least one mobile device to prevent the POS module, the payment user interface, and the Wi-Fi communication module of the at least one mobile device from communicating with the at least one peripheral device unless the third Wi-Fi transportation application has been authenticated by the second Wi-Fi transportation application;
• and
• f. wherein the third Wi-Fi transportation application is configured to cause the processor of at least one peripheral device to prevent the at least one peripheral device from communicating with the base station unless the first Wi-Fi transportation application has been authenticated by the third Wi-Fi transportation application, and prevent the at least one peripheral device from communicating with the at least one mobile device unless the second Wi-Fi transportation application has been authenticated by the third Wi-Fi transportation application.
