METHODS, APPARATUSES AND SYSTEMS FOR PROVIDING USER AUTHENTICATION

摘要

The methods, apparatuses and systems described herein provide a system for authenticating users, authorization or information during secure transactions. The system may include a transaction device requiring user authentication, a personal communication device, and a wearable authentication device that communicates with both of the other devices. In one aspect, the wearable authentication device may be configured to communicate with the transaction device requiring authentication and the personal communication device through one or more wireless communication technologies, wherein the wearable authentication device may be configured to act as an intermediary between the transaction device and the personal communication device to facilitate the exchange of at least one authentication information or transaction completion information between the personal communication device and the transaction device.
