Patent attributes
Methods, devices and program products are provided to provide on-line transaction verification. The method comprises receiving a transaction request and sending a transaction verification request to a computing device and/or account associated with a user. The method receives an electronic key authorization (EKA) code from a transaction verification apparatus. The EKA code is inaccessible when first and second housing portions of the apparatus are dis-connected from one another. The method determines whether the EKA code matches an account authorization code. A match indicates approval of the transaction. The transaction verification apparatus comprises a housing separated into first and second housing portions that are physically connectable to, and dis-connectable from, one another. The EKA code is only readable by the computing device from the transaction verification apparatus when first and second housing portions are connected to one another.
