Method And System For Authenticating A Purchase By A User

Patent Summary

A computer-implemented method for purchase authentication utilizes a server-side database to mitigate fraud and unauthorized ticket reselling. In a first stage, a user profile is created by storing a first user datum (e.g., date of birth) from an identity document, and a product code (e.g., a ticket) is associated with this profile. In a second stage, a second user datum comprising a unique identification number is obtained—via chip reading or manual entry from the identity document—and added to the profile associated with the first datum. Finally, an authentication list is generated based on the product code, linking the product to profiles containing the second user datum to verify purchase authenticity.
