An apparatus and method (10) for securely providing identification information generates one or more obscured identifiers for a recipient, such as one or more identifiers that are generated based on data unique to a recipient or other information as may be appropriate. In one embodiment, the method and apparatus generates a translucent identification member (14), such as a plastic card, sheet, film or other suitable member that has a translucent area that includes one or more obscured identifiers. When the translucent identification member(14) is overlayed on a screen displaying a visual filtering pattern, one of one or more obscured identifiers is visually revealed for use during the particular transaction. The revealed identifier is entered into a recipient device and sent to an authenticator to be verified as an appropriate identifier for the transaction. |
