DYNAMIC AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR USE WITH LEGACY TERMINALS

摘要

In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method and communication device with an emulated mag stripe capability. Information is transmitted in the mag stripe data indicating that the communication device has chip capability as well. This information is used by a server on the back-end (acquirer, issuer, network) to take advantage of that chip capability. For example, additional fields can be used for security measures and communication over the telecommunications network with the device can be performed to provide a more secure communication with a terminal. In one embodiment, the additional information is provided in the service code, using a unique 3 digit code other than 2xx.

主权项

1. A computer readable medium having non-transitory computer readable code with instructions for:
reading traditional mag stripe data from a memory; updating a dynamic authentication value; providing an indication of chip capability other than using a value of 2 to begin a service code; assembling the mag stripe data, dynamic authentication value, and indication of chip capability into a data package; activating a mag stripe emulation antenna; and modulating a signal for the mag stripe emulation antenna with the data package.
