Distributed Biometric Identity Verification With Pseudonymous Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing biometric data systems lack reliable and scalable solutions for verifying consumer identity, are susceptible to security risks, and fail to dynamically monitor user access, while also not addressing consumer privacy concerns.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented identity verification system that securely gathers, identifies, and registers biometric markers correlated with personal information and geo-location coordinates, using distributed data banks for authentication and monitoring, allowing consumers to operate under a pseudonym for enhanced privacy and offering incentives.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a central data repository is used for biometric data storage, then data management is simplified, but system scalability and security are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a distributed data architecture where biometric data is stored across multiple nodes rather than in a single central repository. This segmentation eliminates the single point of failure and reduces vulnerability to targeted attacks while maintaining data management capabilities through distributed consensus protocols.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a trusted third-party verification system that mediates between users and data storage. This intermediary layer handles authentication and authorization without requiring direct access to centralized data, thereby enhancing security while simplifying user interaction with the system.
2Measurement precision
If biometric data is collected for verification, then authentication accuracy is improved, but consumer privacy is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary biometric features for authentication while leaving the rest of the consumer data private. By taking out only the essential verification information and using pseudonymous identifiers, the system achieves accurate authentication without compromising consumer privacy or exposing sensitive personal data.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a pseudonymous copy of the consumer's identity for system operations. Instead of storing and processing real personal identifiers, the system uses encrypted pseudonyms that map to actual consumer data only in secure, access-controlled environments, thereby maintaining authentication accuracy while protecting privacy.
3Reliability
If dynamic biometric monitoring is implemented, then security is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements continuous biometric verification that operates in the background without requiring constant user intervention. The system maintains ongoing monitoring of authentication status and session security, automatically adapting to user behavior patterns and maintaining protection while reducing the burden on users and simplifying the user experience.

AI summary
Disclosed is a computer implemented system for digitally authenticating, registering, and enrolling a consumer in a secure online identity verification system that prevents identity fraud and provides public anonymity to the consumer based on the consumer's live feed dynamic biometric information gathered via the Internet, the system wherein the system includes a simultaneous use security system designed for individual consumer identity verification with an encoded display during an active Internet session and at least one or more individual consumer legal identity and verified aliases assigned to the at least one or more of a nom de plume, icon, badge, and avatar and selected for the individual consumer's public identity. The system and method are further designed to allow notarization including self-notarization.
