FEDERATED THIRD-PARTY AUTHENTICATION APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS

摘要

Federated third-party authentication transforms user identity information inputs associated with transactions at a merchant server into a user-profile output that is transferred to other merchant web sites for facilitating one or more other transactions without the requisite need for full user re-entry of information. Establishing a first trust indication associated with a first merchant and receiving first user- transaction-related information from a server of the first merchant based on a user entering the first user-transaction-related information. A first user-profile is generated for the user based on the first user- transaction-related information received from the server of the first merchant. A second trust indication associated with a second merchant is established. The first user-profile is then sent to the second merchant based on the established first and second trust indications, whereby the first user-profile provides the first user- transaction-related information for facilitating transactions by the user at a server of the second merchant.
