Verification of portable consumer device for secure services
First Claim
1. A computer program product embodied on a computer-readable medium, the product comprising:
- code that directs a data processor to receive a request for a secure datum for a portable consumer device associated with a user, the request comprising identification information pertaining to the portable consumer device, the identification information including an account number that was assigned to the portable consumer device by an issuer, and that was embedded in the portable consumer device prior to receiving the request for the secure datum, wherein the account number is configured to be read and directly used by a payment processing network to identify an account of the user that the payment processing network can use to process payment transactions for the user;
code that directs the data processor to apply at least one validation test pertaining to the received request, wherein the validation test is a test that determines whether the verification token is authentic or whether the verification token has been involved in fraudulent transactions; and
code that directs the data processor to send, if the at least one validation test is passed, a secure datum to a verification token associated with the user or to an entity configured to forward the secure datum to the token, wherein the secure datum is configured to be entered onto a Purchase Authentication Page by the verification token.

Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems pertaining to the verification of portable consumer devices for 3-D Secure Systems are disclosed. In one implementation, a verification token is coupled to a computer by a USB connection so as to use the computer'"'"'s networking facilities. The verification token reads identification information from a user'"'"'s portable consumer device (e.g., credit card) and sends the information to a validation entry over a communications network using the computer'"'"'s networking facilities. The validation entity applies one or more validation tests to the information that it receives from the verification token. If a selected number of tests are passed, the validation entity sends a 3-D Secure datum to the verification token. The verification token may enter the 3-D Secure datum into a hidden field of a Purchase Authentication Page appearing on the computer'"'"'s display.
