Abstract

Methods and systems pertaining secure transaction systems are disclosed. In one implementation, a verification token is associated with a computer and can send user authentication data as well as a secure datum to a control server. The verification token may obtain the secure datum from a validation entity. The control server can validate the secure datum and authentication data and can generate a payer authentication response.
