First Claim
1. A method, at one or more servers, for selectively authorizing a transaction, comprising:
- receiving a request to authorize the transaction;
receiving machine fingerprint data related to the request to authorize the transaction;
saving the machine fingerprint data in a memory;
receiving associated payment information related to the request to authorize the transaction;
saving the payment information in a memory;
retrieving previously stored machine fingerprint data associated with the payment information;
comparing the received machine fingerprint data with previously stored machine fingerprint data associated with the payment information;
determining, using the machine fingerprint data, whether to authorize the transaction.

8. A method, at a client device, comprising:
-
generating machine fingerprint data by reading configuration data indicating non-user-configurable settings for different hardware components of the client device, and aggregating the configuration data to create a defined data series; transmitting to a server the machine fingerprint data and a request to authorize a transaction; receiving authorization for the transaction; and in response to receiving the authorization, requesting to execute a specific transaction. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
