Abstract:

A system and method for authenticating payments are described. In a registration and activation step, an issuer issues to a user one or more patterns of digit substitution associated with a permanent account number. The patterns of digit substitution can then be used to generate derivative account numbers based on the permanent account number. During a commerce transaction, the user interacts with a merchant and specifies a derivative account number. The merchant transmits the derivative account number and other transaction information to the issuer for approval. Based on the derivative account number, the issuer retrieves the permanent account number and processes an approval. By using this method, a user's actual permanent account number is not revealed or transmitted via an unsecure network, which protects it from being stolen. The method may be used in various transactions to protect other personal identification information such as social security numbers, driver license numbers, etc.
