Abstract
A method for accessing a transaction processing system. In one embodiment, the method includes the step of receiving a remote request for access to the transaction processing system from a client device. The method further includes the step of, in response to the remote request, executing at least one server function by a server, where the at least one server function includes performing a security check to authenticate the remote request.
Claims22
A method for accessing a transaction processing system, the method including:
- receiving a remote request for access to the transaction processing system from a client device;
- and
- in response to the remote request, causing a server to execute at least one server function, the at least one server function including performing a security check to authenticate the remote request,
- wherein the remote request is received through a user interface, of a computer terminal, that prompts a user for information related to the user and to the remote request;
- at least one client object is built using the information;
- and the client object is used in the performance of the security check.
A transaction processing system including:
- a transaction center to process transactions received, including routing transactions to a plurality of client devices;
- a database coupled to the transaction center;
- and
- a server coupled to the transaction center and to the plurality of client devices, wherein the server receives a remote request for access to the transaction center, and, in response, accesses the transaction center to perform an action and accesses the database to store data related to the action performed, wherein the remote request is received through a user interface, of a computer terminal, that prompts a user for information related to the user and to the remote request;
- at least one client object is built using the information;
- and the client object is used in the performance of a security check.
A machine-readable medium storing a sequence of instructions which, when executed by the machine, cause the machine to:
- receiving a remote request for access;
- in response to receipt of the remote request, causing a server to perform at least one server function, the at least one server function including:
- connecting to a database;
- validating a structure of the remote request;
- connecting to a transaction center to perform a function related to the remote request;
- and
- modifying a record of the database to reflect the function performed,
- wherein the remote request is received through a user interface, of a computer terminal, that prompts a user for information related to the user and to the remote request;
- at least one client object is built using the information;
- and the client object is used in the performance of a security check.
