Abstract:
A computer-implemented method and device for secure checkout in a retail environment such as at a point of sale location in a store. Each of a customer and a sales associate at the point of sale operate respective mobile communication devices that are equipped to exchange signals and receive the same from one another. The sales associate device sends, inter alia, a physical signal causing the customer device to link to a payment application and server, which is followed by a sequence of authentication steps enabled by a physical authentication unit on the customer's device to ensure and confirm authenticated secure transactions.
