1. A method, comprising:
- generating a token, via a device having a hardware processor, in response to receiving a communication request from an electronic entity, wherein the token comprises at least two of biometric data associated with a user of the device, a personal identification number (PIN), an alphanumeric value, a code word, a pass phrase, and a security question;
transmitting the generated token to the electronic entity; and
receiving notification that the token was received by the electronic entity, wherein the notification is employed to establish a communication channel between the device and the electronic entity.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with bidirectional authentication are described herein. According to one embodiment, a method includes a user receiving a communication from an entity. In response to receiving the communication from the entity, the method further includes generating a token. The token may be a one-time passcode, personal identification number (PIN), alphanumeric value, code word, pass phrase, or security question. The token is received by a device of the user. Additionally, the token is transmitted to the entity. The user may then receive evidence of the token from the entity.

14. A system, the system comprising:
-
a token logic configured to; generate a token in response to receiving a communication between the token logic and an entity, wherein the token includes biometric data, and a personal identification number (PIN), an alphanumeric value, a code word, a pass phrase, or a security question, wherein the biometric data identifies a user of the device, and transmit the token to the entity; and a communication logic configured to establish a communication channel between the device and the entity and to send and receive communication between the device and the entity, wherein the communication channel is established, at least in part, based upon receipt of the generated token at the electronic entity. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
