Stage 1: Definition

1. Feature overview

Allowing users to set a PIN that must be entered prior to every purchase enhances security for those concerned about accidental or fraudulent purchases.

2. Users & use cases

1. A user with kids wants to ensure purchases aren't made without his knowledge.

2. A user hates being prompted to enter his password every time he wants to buy an app on his phone, but is still concerned about his account's security.

Stage 2: Design

5. Functional specification

Users can set a Purchase PIN from their Account Settings page by picking a 4-digit number and confirming it. Prior to every purchase -- up front or in-app, desktop or mobile, the user must correctly enter this PIN.

The PIN is optional, but its existence could be advertised during purchases, e.g. "Security tip: setting up a Purchase PIN only takes a few seconds and guards against accidental purchases."

PayPal pre-auth keys could be encrypted using this PIN such that users would be further protected against any Marketplace compromise.

Security recommendation:

  • Require the PIN for all setup processes of users
  • Use the PIN to encrypt the stored pre-auth key
  • Do not permanently store the PIN, instead use the provided PIN to decrypt the pre-auth key for a point in time use. Then disregard both the PIN and the decrypted pre-auth value
  • May need to investigate increasing the key size
    • This could be accomplished by appending to a static value on the server side (which is stored outside the database)
