ON-BOARDING SERVER FOR REMOTELY AUTHORIZING USE OF A TERMINAL

Abstract:

An on-boarding server is configured to receive a data set and a manufacturer identifier from a communications device, validate an identity from the data set, and locate a first terminal cryptographic key associated with the manufacturer identifier in a terminal database. The on-boarding server is configured to confirm, using the located first terminal cryptographic key, that the manufacturer identifier received from the communications device was signed with a second terminal cryptographic key. The located first terminal cryptographic key and the second terminal cryptographic key are an asymmetric cryptographic key pair. The on-boarding server is configured to determine an acquirer server from the data set, provide the acquirer server with a merchant identifier, and download to the communications device a payload that includes the merchant identifier.
