Biomatrix Biometric Authentication System for Secure Data Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional online security systems relying on usernames and passwords are difficult for users to manage, often leading to forgotten credentials and inadequate security, as they require complex passwords and are prone to hacking.
Innovation Solution
A computing device system that utilizes a biomatrix, a collection of biometric markers such as facial recognition, retina, and fingerprint scans, to securely manage and authenticate access to online data, eliminating the need for traditional usernames and passwords by serving as both public and private keys for user identity verification.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If usernames and passwords are used for online security, then access control is established, but user convenience deteriorates and security reliability worsens due to forgotten credentials and hacking vulnerabilities
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical username/password system with a biometric authentication system using facial recognition, fingerprint scans, and retina scans. The biomatrix serves as both public and private keys, eliminating the need for traditional credential management while improving both security reliability and user convenience through automatic biometric verification.
2Reliability
If complex passwords are used to improve security, then security reliability improves, but ease of operation deteriorates as users find them difficult to use and remember
Solution Approach 1:
The system substitutes complex password memorization with automatic biometric verification. The portal manager automatically selects and verifies biometric markers from the biomatrix without requiring user input, making authentication as convenient as presenting one's biological characteristics while maintaining high security through multiple biometric factors.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service authentication where the biometric markers automatically verify user identity without requiring manual password entry. The portal manager autonomously selects biometric markers based on security policies and verifies them against the stored biomatrix, eliminating the need for users to manage or remember complex passwords.
3Reliability
If physical security keys and password managers are used, then security improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple security functions into a single integrated system. The portal manager combines biometric verification, identity confirmation, and data access control into one unified process, eliminating the need for separate physical security keys and password managers. The biomatrix itself serves as both the authentication credential and the encryption key.
Solution Approach 2:
The biomatrix serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as the user's identity identifier, the authentication credential, and the encryption key for accessing secure data. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate security devices and simplifies the overall system architecture while maintaining high security standards.
Data Source
AI summary
Technologies for secure biometric data management include a cloud server in communication with multiple user devices and third-party devices. The cloud server verifies a user's identity, receives captured biometric data indicative of multiple biometric marker scans associated with the user, generates a biomatrix as a function of the captured biometric data, and associates secure data storage with the stored biomatrix. The cloud server receives biomatrix data from a client computing device such as a user device or a third-party device, determines a set of biometric markers, and verifies the received biometric data using the set of biometric markers. The cloud server allows access to the secure data storage in response to verifying the biomatrix data. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
