Description

WO 01/27887 PCTIUS00/27458 1 SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GLOBAL INTERNET DIGITAL
IDENTIFICATION
SPECIFICATION
FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to digital identification (hereinafter "digital ID") applications used to purchase goods or services.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A digital ID is a set of digital data associated with an individual or entity. The ID can be, for example, a digital document a digital certificate) which associates a digital key with the individual or entity. Digital ID applications for use over the Internet and elsewhere are proliferating. One model for digital ID applications allows a third party service provider on the Internet to perform an exchange with a cardholder accessing the third party site and to retrieve from the cardholder a digital ID that the service provider can then validate with a "central point" before providing service.
The service provider goes to the "central point" for each validation and is charged based on the level of assurance that the "central point" is prepared to provide 0.100 for a guarantee that digital ID is good for $100, 10 for a guarantee that digital ID is good for $1000, etc.).
Currently, some parties are attempting to fill a need for new hierarchical/trust models based on new commercial relationships. In contrast,.the present invention provides a unique system and method for performing a digital ID function using currently existing payment system building blocks (such as the "EMV" standard promulgated jointly by Europay International MasterCard International Incorporated, and Visa International Service Association, and the "SET" standard 004437655 2 promulgated by SET Secure Electronic Transaction, LLC) and currently existing credit/debit card payment system contractual relationships. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the EMV and SET standards, which are described in detail in the EMV and SET "References" listed in the "Related References" section below. These documents are incorporated by reference.
It would be desirable to leverage existing investments and infrastructure to provide a unique system and method for providing digital ID applications.
It would also be desirable to enable banks with a way to issue digital IDs at an assurance level with which they are comfortable, without the investment required to set up a new infrastructure or without the requirement to join a new consortium.
It would also be desirable to simplify contractual relationships required for providing digital ID applications. Under the present invention, each digital ID issuer has one contractual relationship with a "central switch" and each service provider has one contractual relationship with the "central switch".
It would also be desirable to provide standardized assurance levels for service providers. With the present invention, issuers of digital IDs may choose to use some or all of the assurance levels.
i It would also be desirable to provide a digital ID application that provides a high level of authentication while, at the same time, allowing the digital ID holder to remain anonymous to a digital ID verification requestor.

o:ie BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING Further objects, features, and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the WO 01/27887 PCT/US00/27458 3 accompanying figure showing illustrative embodiments of the invention, in which: FIG. 1 is a diagram of information flow in an exemplary system for performing digital ID in accordance with the invention.
In the figure, unless otherwise stated, the same reference numerals and characters are used to denote like features, elements, components, or portions of the illustrated embodiments. Moreover while the subject invention will now be described in detail with reference to the figure and in connection with the illustrative embodiments, changes and modifications can be made to the described embodiments without departing from the true scope and spirit of the subject invention as defined by the appended claims.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a digital ID issuer issues a digital ID to a digital ID holder. When a party desires to authenticate a digital ID holder, the request for digital ID verification is routed to the digital ID issuer over a distributed communication network. The distributed communication network may include the Internet and an existing legacy payment system infrastructure (such as the Banknet infrastructure of MasterCard International Incorporated). The Internet and the existing legacy payment system infrastructure are connected by a "central switch" or gateway (such as a SET gateway).
Digital ID holders are, with the present invention, able to anonymously identify themselves in remote environments, such as the Internet, to other parties. The digital ID is a portable identity object that is simple for digital ID holders to use and can eliminate the need by digital ID holders to remember different passwords and user-ID combinations required to gain access to protected Internet sites. While not revealing any other details of the identity to the identity verification requester, the present invention can release only agreed identity data to the identity verification requester. It is the digital ID issuer who provides and controls all data.
In transmitting the request for digital ID verification, the present invention uses a set of separate, stand-alone, non-payment messages which utilize existing legacy payment system message formats and payment-related data. The digital ID WO 01/27887 PCT/US00/27458 4 verification request involves the use of a shared secret (of any type) possessed only by the digital ID issuer and the digital ID holder. High security is enabled since the number and types of secrets shared and algorithms used by the parties are varied and potentially non-standard. The digital ID issuer will receive and validate a digital ID payment object, which is created by the digital ID holder with the shared secret.
Advantageously, the digital ID payment object is passed as an opaque block (an object that cannot be read) through all intermediary nodes to the digital ID issuer.
When a digital ID issuer receives a digital ID verification request, the digital ID issuer has a number of response options available to it. One option is to simply respond with a binary "yes" or "no" to the digital ID verification request. A second option is to respond with other data which is related to the digital ID holder, such as demographic data, payment history data, and/or other marketing data. Preferably, this other data is non-personally identifiable data, and the dissemination of this other data is pre-approved by the digital ID holder. The data may also include passwords for accessing a service provider's web site.
Previous digital identification technology has employed asymmetric key technology with private/public key pairs and digital certificates, sometimes combined with secured integrated circuit (IC) chip cards. Advantageously, the present invention can be deployed without chip cards or any secure hardware deployed by the digital ID issuer. Moreover, the present invention may use shared symmetric key technology, instead of asymmetric key technology, to provide a digital ID function.
Another unique feature of the present invention is that digital ID verification may occur before and/or after a payment transaction, and the digital ID verification is capable of being linked with the payment transaction through cryptography. The linking is accomplished through the use of a cryptogram, which is an object containing the result of a cryptographic operation. Preferably, the present invention uses time-sensitive data.
A preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described. In this preferred embodiment, the basic cryptographic techniques utilize parts of the EMV credit or debit payment specification and an EMV infrastructure. An EMVcompliant chip card may be used with this embodiment, but (as already mentioned) WO 01/27887 PCT/US00/27458 chip card use is not required. Instead, an digital ID application may be stored, for example, on a computer that is connected to the Internet. The stored digital ID application stored on the computer could function as a "virtual" chip card.
With reference to Fig. 1, a digital ID issuer 500 (such as a bank) preferably issues a physical or virtual chip card 100 based on the EMV specification. The chip card 100 can, optionally, be direct mailed to an end user. The chip card 100 may contain a single application or multiple applications on it, and can, optionally, be based on the MULTOSTM operating system or on another operating system. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the MULTOSTM standard, which is maintained by the MAOSCO Consortium. The standard is described in the MULTOSTM "References" listed in the "Related References" section below. These documents are incorporated by reference.
The digital ID issuer 500 assigns a payment-related or non-payment-related digital ID account number within the MasterCard Payment Application (MCPA) function in the chip card 100. However, the digital ID account number is not required to be a credit/debit card account number (and, indeed, for security purposes, it is preferred that the digital ID not be such a number). In essence, the digital ID issuer may deploy digital ID EMV-based applications which do not use credit/debit card account numbers but assign an account number only for digital ID use.
After the digital ID is issued, the cardholder logs onto the Intemrnet and requests a service from a service provider web site (this request represented by arrow 1 of Fig.
1).
Before providing the requested service, the service provider 200 may decide to verify the cardholder's identity. It is up to the service provider to decide the frequency with which it requests verification from its customers. The service provider may request verification each and every time a service is requested, or it may request verification only occasionally.
If the service provider 200 decides to request verification, the service provider preferably initiates a SET specification based transaction (for confidentiality and integrity of messaging over the Intemrnet) and asks the cardholder (this request represented by arrow 2 of Fig. 1) to use its chip card (virtual or physical) to initiate a WO 01/27887 PCT/US00/27458 6 digital ID verification transaction (shown as arrow The digital ID verification transaction uses the credit/debit payment message formats of the MCPA and EMV specifications. These message formats may be used in a number of ways. For example, the payment amount field may be set to zero and the request may be treated as an authorization for a payment transaction of zero amount. Alternatively, a new message type may be added (for example, a "digital ID request" type) to the existing payment infrastructure. This new message type can be used to redefine certain fields.
In particular, the payment field may no longer represent a payment amount, but a validation level amount. For example, if the payment field contains $100, the digital ID issuer will validate the identity of the digital ID at this validation level.
When a cardholder receives a request to initiate a digital ID verification transaction, the cardholder produces an EMV-formatted cryptogram (shown as arrow 3) (such as an authorization request cryptogram or an "ARQC" cryptogram) and provides it to the service provider 200. The cryptogram is then transported (arrow 4) securely over the Internet, protected by (for example) the SET protocol. The cryptogram can be a digital certificate.
The service provider passes this transaction request (arrow 4) over the Internet, using (preferably) the SET protocol, to a "central switch" 300, which may provide a SET payment gateway function. Since the transaction is not a payment, a bankprovided payment gateway is not necessary. The central switch 300 can, optionally, be a SET acquirer.
The switch 300 reformats the verification transaction request to the format for message transmission over a trusted back-end network 400 (such as MasterCard International Inc.'s Banknet network). For example, if the back-end network is MasterCard International Inc.'s Banknet network, the verification request message is formatted as a "0100" chip formatted authorization request message. The reformatted message is then passed (arrow 5) into the trusted back-end network 400, which routes the verification request (arrow 6) to the digital ID issuer 500.
The digital ID issuer 500 authenticates the digital ID verification transaction and stores the transaction for possible service provider fee collection at a level identified and requested on the verification request message. As previously discussed, WO 01/27887 PCT/US00/27458 7 the response by the digital ID issuer may be a simple "yes" or "no" or it may include other digital ID holder-related data. The response also preferably includes an Authorization Response Cryptogram ("ARPC").
The digital ID issuer 500 responds to the switch via the trusted back-end network 400 with an authorization response message (arrow If the back-end network is MasterCard's Banknet network, the message is a "0110" formatted authorization response message. It is formatted as a payment authorization request but carries digital ID response data. The back-end network 400 then passes the message (arrow 8) to the switch 300.
The switch formats the authorizationresponse message as a SET/EMV response message (arrow 9) to the service provider 200. The response message confirms or denies the digital ID authentication at the requested service level. This response message is similar to an authorization for purchase response.
When the service provider 200 receives the SET/EMV response message, it decides whether to provide service to the cardholder. The service provider may optionally complete the EMV-like transaction by sending a SET message (arrow back to the physical or virtual card.
The functions of the switch system are as follows: 1. Receive and translate SET/EMV messages on the Internet from service providers into 0100 payment formatted messages for Banknet.
2. Identify and translate 0110 formatted messages from Banknet into SET/EMV messages on the Internet to service providers.
3. Identify and log transactions for fee purposes.
4. Gather fees from service providers.
5. Distribute shares of fees to digital ID issuers.
6. Identify new contents of fields on 0100/0110 messages and SET/EMV messages to facilitate identification or non-payment transaction.
WO 01/27887 PCT/US00/27458 8 To ensure the freshness of a digital ID request and avoid replay of a digital ID request at a later date and time, it is preferred that digital ID devices will generate a random number challenge which is used, along with other data, by the digital ID holder to create the digital ID cryptogram sent to the digital ID issuer for validation.
A preferred embodiment is to use SET technology and EMV chip card technology for this function.
A preferred embodiment of the present invention is built upon the EMV electronic commerce specification but includes the following modifications and additions. The digital ID number is preferably a fully "routable" credit or debit primary account number (PAN), but the number is not necessarily related to a payment account. In a preferred embodiment, the digital ID number is not the account number used for payment.
In addition, the present invention also adds the option to save the EMV final Transaction Certificate (TC) by the cardholder system. This final TC (arrow 11) is a cryptographic object that may be used to link a digital ID verification transaction to a payment transaction. The TC is based on the same shared secret as that used in generating the ARQC and on the ARPC received from the digital ID issuer. In those cases when the digital ID issuer is the same as the payment account issuer, the TC (along with the data needed to generate the TC) provides a strong linkage between the digital ID verification transaction and a payment authorization request. To achieve the linkage, the TC may be bundled into a payment transaction as the "random number" used in the initiate payment transaction stage. An advantage to using the TC in this manner is that a lower level of security is needed to transmit the payment transaction data over the Internet. This is because the transaction route has already been verified by the digital ID verification transaction and the receipt of an ARPC.
Although the present invention has been described in connection with particular embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that such embodiments are susceptible of modification and variation without departing from the scope of the inventive concept as defined by the appended claims.
