1. An accessory configured to authenticate a transaction, the accessory comprising:
- a communication circuit configured to communicate with transaction system;
at least one sensor mounted in connection with the vehicle and configured to collect verification data indicative of authentication of the transaction with the transaction system; and
a processor in communication with the communication circuit and the at least one sensor, wherein the processor is configured to;
communicate the verification data received from the at least one sensor to a transaction verification server as a first authentication;
receive an authentication of the transaction from the transaction system, wherein the authentication comprises coded light data received by the at least one sensor; and
communicate a verification of the receipt of the coded light data as a second authentication, wherein the first authentication and the second authentication are used in combination validating the transaction based on the verification data and the coded light data.

11. An authentication accessory for a vehicle configured to authenticate a transaction, the accessory comprising:
-
a communication circuit configured to communicate with a transaction system; at least one sensor mounted in connection with the vehicle and configured to capture at least one identifying characteristic of a user of the vehicle; and a processor in communication with the communication circuit and the at least one sensor, wherein the processor is configured to; initiate the sensor to capture the identifying characteristic; communicate the identifying characteristic to a remote authentication server as a first authentication; receive with the at least one sensor a coded light transmission from the transaction system; and communicate a verification of the receipt of the coded light transmission as a second authentication, wherein the first authentication and the second authentication are used in combination validating the transaction based on the identifying characteristic and the coded light transmission. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. An authentication accessory for a vehicle configured to authenticate a transaction, the accessory comprising:
-
a communication circuit configured to communicate with a transaction system; at least one sensor in connection with the vehicle; and a processor in communication with the communication circuit and the at least one sensor, wherein the processor is configured to; initiate the sensor to capture an identifying characteristic of a user of the vehicle; communicate the captured identifying characteristic to a remote authentication server comprising stored identifying information, wherein the remote authentication server verifies an identity of the operator based on the identifying characteristic; receive a second authentication from the transaction system, wherein the second authentication is in the form of a coded light message authenticating the transaction; and communicate a verification of the coded light message to the transaction system. - View Dependent Claims (18)
