Original Abstract Submitted

According to an aspect there is provided an ambient commerce system. The ambient commerce system may include a sensor at an ambient commerce premises, a communication module, and a processor coupled to the sensor and the communication module. The ambient commerce system further includes a memory coupled to the processor. The memory stores processor-executable instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to: detect, based on an output of one or more of the sensors, an unauthenticated entity at an ambient commerce premises; receive, from a first independent trusted system and via the communication module, an indication that authentication has been performed by the first independent trusted system for the unauthenticated entity using a first authentication parameter; determine that the entity is an authenticated entity based on the indication that the authentication has been performed and at least a second authentication parameter; and perform an ambient commerce operation for the authenticated entity.
