First Claim
1. An authentication system to authenticate a user involved in a transaction with a provider, the system comprising:
- a communications interface configured to receive a time-varying code from the provider that was generated by an electronic device, wherein the time-varying code is generated by the electronic device responsive to successful verification of biometric information at the point of use of the electronic device, and wherein the time-varying code includes a time value representative of a time at which the time-varying code is generated; and
one or more processors configured to retrieve account information associated with a user of the electronic device, wherein the account information is retrieved in response to receiving the time-varying code, extracting the time value from the time-varying code, and mapping the time-varying code to the account information using the time value and the time-varying code, and to send the retrieved account information to a third party to enable or deny the transaction with the provider without providing the account information to the provider.

Abstract
An authentication system and method of use thereof are provided to authenticate a user involved in a transaction. The system comprises a communications interface configured to receive a one-time code generated by an electronic device, wherein the one-time code is generated by an electronic device responsive to successful verification of biometric information at the point of use of the electronic device, and one or more processors configured to retrieve account information associated with a user of the electronic device, wherein the account information is retrieved in response to receiving the one-time code, and to use the retrieved account information to access account identifying information or identifying information associated with the user of the electronic device.

7. A method for authenticating a user involved in a transaction with a provider using a computer system, the method comprising:
-
receiving a one-time code from the provider that was generated by an electronic device, wherein the one-time code is generated by the electronic device responsive to successful verification of biometric information at a point of use of the electronic device, and wherein the one-time code is received without communicating with the electronic device; accessing account identifying information or user identifying information associated with the user of the electronic device in response to; receiving the one-time code; mapping the one-time code to the account identifying information or the user identifying information using the one-time code; and executing a restriction mechanism to determine compliance with any access restrictions for a party transacting with the user based on an identity of the party transacting with the user, and sending the accessed account identifying information or user identifying information to a third party to enable or deny the transaction with the provider without providing the accessed account identifying information or user identifying information to the provider. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 33, 34, 35)

14. A computer readable medium or media containing instructions for authenticating a user involved in a transaction with a provider, wherein execution of the instructions by one or more processors of a computer system causes the one or more processors to carry out the steps of:
-
receiving a time-varying code from the provider that was generated by an electronic device, wherein the time-varying code is generated by the electronic device responsive to successful verification of biometric information at a point of use of the electronic device; accessing account identifying information or user identifying information associated with the user of the electronic device in response to; receiving the time-varying code without communicating with the electronic device; extracting the time value from the time-varying code; mapping the time-varying code to the account identifying information or the user identifying information using the time value and the time-varying code; and executing a restriction mechanism to determine compliance with any access restrictions for a party transacting with the user based on an identity of the party transacting with the user; and sending the accessed account identifying information or user identifying information to a third party to enable or deny the transaction with the provider without providing the accessed account identifying information or user identifying information to the provider. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 36, 37, 38, 39)

21. A method for enabling a transaction involving a first party and a user, the method comprising:
-
receiving authentication information of the user, wherein the authentication information comprises one or more of (a) biometric information and (b) a PIN or code; authenticating an identity of the user based on the received authentication information; generating a one-time code in response to authenticating the user, wherein at least a portion of the one-time code is used to access account identifying information or user identifying information, and wherein the one-time code includes a time value representative of when the one-time code is generated; communicating a signal comprising the one-time code to the first party in order to enable a transaction on behalf of the user; receiving, at the first party, the one-time code; and accessing the account identifying information or the user identifying information in response to; receiving the one-time code; extracting the time value from the one-time code; mapping the one-time code to the account identifying information or the user identifying information using the time value and the one-time code; and executing a restriction mechanism to determine compliance with any access restrictions for the first party based on an identity of the first party. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 40)
