Abstract
A method for authenticating a wearable device is disclosed. The method includes: receiving, a signal representing an indication that the wearable device is in active use; in response to receiving the signal, updating a device database to associate a first status with the wearable device; receiving, from a tokenization service provider (TSP), a signal representing a first code derived by the TSP from decrypting a security token previously provisioned in the wearable device, wherein the security token was received at a terminal from the wearable device and transmitted to the TSP; obtaining, based on the received first code, a device identifier of the wearable device and an identifier of an account; querying the device database to verify that the wearable device is associated with the first status; verifying that the account is enabled for an operation initiated using the wearable device; and transmitting an authorization message to the terminal, the authorization message authorizing the operation.
