Abstract

A secure registry system and method for the use thereof are provided which permits secure access to a database containing selected data on a plurality of entities, at least portions of which database has restricted access. Mechanisms are provided for controlling access to restricted access portions of the database are provided, such access being determined by at least one of the identity of the requesting entity and the entity'"'"'s status. A multicharacter public code may be provided which the system can map to provide permit delivery of items, complete telephone calls and perform other functions for entities. The system may also be utilized to locate an individual based on limited biological data. Organizations utilizing the system may have custom software facilitating their access and use of the system.

Claims

1. An anonymous transaction authentication system for providing anonymous information to a first party to enable transactions between the first party and entities with secure data stored in the system, comprising:

a receiver for receiving a time variant code wirelessly communicated from a device to the first party responsive to an authentication input provided to the device by a user to trigger payment for services, wherein the device authenticates the user based on the authentication input;

a database including secure data for each entity and information for mapping the time variant code to each respective entity having secure data in the secure registry system; and

a processor configured to receive from the first party the time variant code for the entity and match the time variant code to the entity on whose behalf a transaction is to be performed, configured to map the time variant code to the identity of the entity and secure data associated with the entity including information required to enable the transaction to proceed anonymously, the information including account identifying information where the account identifying information is unknown to the first party, to provide the account identifying information to a third party to enable the transaction without providing the account identifying information to the first party.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the time variant code includes a secret code of the entity.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the time variant code is provided from the entity via a secure electronic transmission device.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the time variant code is encrypted and transmitted by the entity, and the system is configured to decrypt the time variant code with a public key associated with the entity.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein said first party provides delivery services, wherein the information is an address to which an item is to be delivered for the entity, wherein the system receives the time variant code and the system uses the time variant code to obtain the appropriate address for delivery of the item.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the system is configured to enable the first party to perform the services without disclosing the secure data to the first party.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the information is credit card information regarding the entity, and wherein the processor is configured to provide the credit card information based upon the time variant code of the entity to enable a transaction.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the system is configured to receive an approval of the credit card transaction without providing a credit card number of the entity to the first party.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the information is bank card information regarding the entity, and wherein the processor is configured to provide the bank card information to enable a transaction based upon the time variant code of the entity.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the system is configured to provide an approval of the bank card transaction without providing a bank card number of the entity to the first party.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein the time variant code is generated to be a one-time non-predictable code.

23. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to execute a restriction mechanism to determine compliance with any access restrictions for the first party to secure data of the entity for completing the transaction based at least in part on an indication of the entity communicated with a transaction request, and to allow or not allow access to the secure data associated with the entity including the account identifying information required to enable the transaction based on the determined compliance with any access restrictions for the first party.

12. A computer implemented method for providing anonymous information to a first party to enable transactions between the first party and entities with secure data, the method comprising:

receiving, by a receiver, a time variant code wirelessly from a device for an entity on whose behalf services are to be provided responsive to an authentication input provided to the device by the entity to trigger payment for the services, wherein the device authenticates the entity based on the authentication input;

connecting to a database including secure data for each entity and information for mapping the time variant code to each respective entity having secure data in a secure registry system; and

matching, by a processor, the time variant code to the entity on whose behalf a transaction is to be performed;

mapping, by the processor, the time variant code to the identity of the entity and secure data associated with the entity including information required to enable the transaction to proceed anonymously, the information including account identifying information wherein the account identifying information is unknown to the first party; and

providing, by the processor, the account identifying information to a third party to enable the transaction without providing the account identifying information to the first party.

13. The method of claim 12, further comprising an act of using corresponding information to enable the first party to perform the services, wherein using the corresponding information comprises providing anonymous validation information to the first party to perform the services.

14. The method of claim 12, wherein the act of receiving the time variant code comprises receiving a secret time variant code which is secret to the entity.

15. The method of claim 12, wherein the act of receiving the time variant code comprises receiving the secret code which has been transmitted by a secure electronic transmission device.

16. The method of claim 12, wherein the act of receiving the time variant code comprises receiving an encrypted time variant code and the method further comprises decrypting the encrypted time variant code.

17. The method of claim 13, wherein the acts of mapping the time variant code and using the information to perform the services comprises not providing the information to a provider of services.

18. The method of claim 13, wherein the act of using the corresponding information to perform the services comprises using credit card information about the entity to enable a credit card transaction.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein the act of using the corresponding information comprises receiving a validation or denial of the credit card transaction without providing a credit card number of the entity to the first party.

20. The method of claim 12, wherein the act of using the corresponding information to perform the services comprises:

using bank card information about the entity to enable a transaction through a third party; and

receiving validation information from the third party.

21. The method of claim 20, wherein the act of using the corresponding information comprises receiving a validation or denial of the bank card transaction without providing a bank card number of the entity to the first party.

22. The method of claim 12, wherein the time variant code is generated to be a one-time non-predictable code.
