An added level of security is added to charge card transactions. Upon presenting a credit card for a purchase, for example, the cardholder receives a message on his cell phone that a charge authorization request has been received. The cardholder may also be prompted to reply with a password or a PIN, so as to add a second security authorization.

Methods and devices are provided for automating a login process and user/device associations. A user's preferred device settings and/or functions may be provisioned automatically. Some implementations provide an automated log out or "sleep" when a user leaves one or more of the devices. Users may be automatically identified and associated. The "presence" of members of a user group may be determined as required for one or more actions to be taken. Some user groups control devices according to which members of a group may have access to certain functions, information, etc., and which may not.

Transaction card assemblies, systems and methods of making are provided. One such assembly includes a card carrier having a card integrally formed within. The card peripherally engages the card carrier and is adapted to be removed from the card carrier. An encodable strip is disposed on the card. The strip has first and second encodable tracks. The first encodable track is positioned to be read by a point-of-sale device when the card is engaged with the card carrier, and the second encodable track is positioned to be read by the point-of-sale device after the card is separated from the carrier. In this manner, the card can be read using the same point-of-sale device whether or not the card has been separated from the carrier.

Methods and systems are provided for combining total-internal-reflectance and tissue imaging to perform biometric functions. The system may include an illumination source, a platen, a light detector, an optical train, and a computational unit. The platen is disposed to make contact with a skin site of an individual. The optical train is disposed to provide optical paths between the illumination source and the platen, and between the platen and the light detector. The combination of the illumination source and optical train provides illumination to the platen under multispectral conditions. The computational unit is interfaced with the light detector and has instructions to generate a total-internal-reflectance image of the skin site from a first portion of light received from the skin site, and to generate a tissue image of the skin site from a second portion of light received from the skin site.

A reference reader is provided for testing contactless electronic payment cards whose data transmissions are via weak load modulated RF carrier signals. The reference reader includes a reader antenna and a coupled common mode rejection circuit. The common mode rejection circuit is configured to demodulate carrier signals received at the reader antenna to retrieve payment card data signals having low modulation indices.

A system for managing information relating to customers at a fuel service facility may include customer service points, one or more processors, a database, and a central server. The customer service points can receive a customer identifier, and the processors can apply a hash function to a customer identifier received by the customer service points to generate a system identifier. The database can store system identifiers, each associated with one or more customer preferences. The central server can associate one or more of the custome preferences with one or more of the system identifiers, store the associated customer preferences in the database, and provide access to the database.

A network arrangement is provided for processing credit transactions. A financial network is used to route communications securely between interfaces with the financial network. Merchant systems are coupled with the interfaces, with each merchant system transmitting requests for authorization of credit transactions through the financial network. An issuer system authorizes credit transactions in response to receipt of requests that specify at least a credit account to be used to support a particular credit transaction and a transaction amount for the particular credit transaction. A guarantor system separate from the issuer system determines whether to guarantee credit transactions in response to the requests and transmits responses indicating whether specific credit transactions are to be guaranteed through the financial network to the merchant systems.

A secure electronic payment system and method for conducting a secure transaction (120) using authentication is provided. A merchant's computer (104) transmits an authorization request to an access control server (112). The access control (112) obtains authentication (130) to confirm the identity of the purchaser (102), via e.g., an electronic form or interactive voice response system. The access control server (112) then transmits a response to the merchant's computer. If the purchaser (102) is authorized to access the account, payment is processed by the merchant (104) and the transaction (102) is completed.
