Binary personal identification number authentication for contactless card

Abstract

A contactless PIN card includes an orientation reference feature, a plurality of tactile sensors, an arrangement of a plurality of tactile sensors along the edge, an arrangement of a plurality of tactile sensors on the surface or surfaces, an arrangement of a plurality tactile of sensors along the edge and on the surface or surfaces. A plurality of tactile sensors allowed the user to input a binary PIN according to the way how the finger is interacting with the tactile sensors. In addition to the validation of the identifying information embedded within the memory of any existing contactless credit card, debit cards, prepaid electronic cash card, loyalty card and access card, the user's identification is also validated through the binary PIN. An irreversible mathematical equation can be used to compute the identifying information and user's binary PIN to generate the validation Radio Frequency Identification signal.
