User enhanced authentication system for online purchases
First Claim
1. A merchant server, the merchant server comprising a processor and a computer readable medium having a computer readable code embodied therein, wherein the computer readable code is adapted to be executed on the processor, wherein the computer readable code is adapted to be executed to implement a method, the method comprising:
- sending to a consumer a merchant checkout page, wherein the merchant checkout page is configured to receive from the merchant server an indication of whether an issuer server is configured to authenticate the consumer using an inline authentication form;
sending an enrollment verification request to a directory server; and
receiving an enrollment verification response from the directory server, wherein the enrollment verification response includes an indication of whether the issuer server that is capable of authenticating the consumer conducting an online transaction is configured to authenticate the consumer using the inline authentication form,wherein the merchant checkout page includes support for a shopping cart, wherein the shopping cart is associated with a session, wherein the inline authentication form is configured to permit the issuer server to authenticate the consumer without navigating away from the session associated with the shopping cart,wherein the merchant checkout page includes an asynchronous JavaScript interface to receive from the merchant server the indication of whether the issuer server is configured to authenticate the consumer using the inline authentication form.

Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are directed to methods, systems, devices and computer-readable media. In embodiments of the invention, a user is authenticated using an authentication process that is capable of authenticating a user using an inline authentication form that can authenticate a consumer without transferring a session maintained by a merchant. The inline authentication form is used if the components of the authentication system are capable of supporting an inline authentication form. If the components of the system cannot support an inline authentication form, a different authentication process is used. In one embodiment, an inline authentication form is presented to the user asynchronously. This inline authentication form may be presented within an iFrame embedded in a merchant'"'"'s checkout page after verifying that the components to be used during the authentication can support the inline authentication form.
