@Sumdude — This should keep you busy...while someone else can find the Pacer links for you... First: What is 2FA (two-factor authentication) Two-factor authentication is a security process in which the user provides two means of identification from separate categories of credentials; one is typically a physical token, such as a card, and the other is typically something memorized, such as a security code.
Second: What is Out of Band Band Authentication A very popular anti-fraud measure financial institutions are now implementing in their online banking services is Out of Band Authentication. When a customer wants to make a transaction, a text message or phone call is sent to the mobile phone number the bank has on file.
The SFOR patent is somewhat innocuous, but very powerful. My very own DD...I found this #53 and #54 of patent '698 are HUGE Patent D/D ID: 8,484,698
No one but a select few here actually read the filings, I had the "luxury" to read through them again earlier today in a "boring" health care meeting (which is ripe for 2FA...HIPAA-compliance and the like)...
That said, I know we're not all attorneys, but I have to say, the language can be esoteric, all the filings are clear-cut/plain-as-day, rock-solid...patent infringements... No one has proved or offered an explanation stating otherwise. Are there any attorneys who wish to chime in?
