Biosignature Glyph Encoding Biometric Data for Identity Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current authentication methods for individual identities, particularly in digital signatures, are vulnerable to identity theft and fraud due to the variability of handwritten signatures and the difficulty in ensuring security, leading to challenges in verifying authenticity and reliability across different locations and transactions.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for generating an authenticated document biosignature by calculating a base verification score based on identification inputs, including biometric and non-biometric features, and creating a glyph that encodes this information, which can be scanned and verified to authenticate the identity of a user.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If handwritten signatures are used for authentication, then the system is easy to operate and familiar to users, but the variability of signatures makes machine comparison complex and unreliable
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a machine-readable copy (glyph) of the handwritten signature that captures essential characteristics while eliminating variability issues. The glyph encodes signature features in a standardized format that can be reliably compared by machines, while the user still provides input through their natural handwriting process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the signature from its original variable form into a standardized glyph representation with consistent parameters. By changing the representation parameters (from free-form handwriting to structured glyph elements), the system maintains ease of creation while achieving reliability for machine comparison.
2Reliability
If biometric identifiers are used for authentication, then the reliability of identity verification is improved, but ensuring the security of biometric identifiers remains difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a glyph as an intermediary representation between the biometric data and the authentication system. Instead of directly using raw biometric identifiers that are vulnerable to theft, the system creates a processed glyph that represents the biometric characteristics in a secured, standardized format that is more difficult to steal or forge.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces direct biometric scanning and comparison with a glyph-based system. The glyph serves as a substituted representation that captures the essential biometric verification function while eliminating the security vulnerabilities associated with storing and transmitting raw biometric data.
3Reliability
If multiple identification inputs are collected to improve verification accuracy, then the reliability of authentication is enhanced, but the complexity of the authentication process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple identification inputs into a single integrated glyph representation. Instead of processing separate biometric and non-biometric identifiers through multiple complex steps, the system merges them into one unified glyph that encapsulates all verification information, simplifying the overall process while maintaining high accuracy.
Data Source
AI summary
In systems and methods of managing a document with an authenticated document biosignature, a processor of a verification device may receive an image based on a user selection. The processor may calculate a base verification score associated with a user based on at least one identification input, the identification input including one or more identification features, wherein at least one of the identification features includes a biometric identification feature. The processor of the verification device may generate a glyph based on the selected image, the base verification score and the at least one identification input. The glyph may be associated with a document, and may be used to verify the identity of the user associated with the glyph.
