Dynamic Biometric Authentication With Random Scan-Gesture Patterns
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Biometric authentication systems are static and vulnerable to compromise once hacked, lacking interactivity and dynamic response mechanisms.
Innovation Solution
Implement a dynamic biometric combination authentication system that generates a random authentication pattern involving series of biometric scans and gestures, which are compared against a stored set to authenticate users.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a single biometric scan is used for authentication, then the authentication process is simple and fast, but the security is compromised as it relies on static data that can be hacked
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms static biometric authentication into a dynamic process by generating random authentication patterns that require multiple biometric scans and gestures in sequence. The authentication challenge changes each time, requiring the user to perform different combinations of scans and gestures rather than relying on a single static biometric data point.
Solution Approach 2:
The authentication process is divided into multiple segments including generating a random pattern, capturing multiple biometric scans, recording gestures, and comparing against stored data. This segmentation transforms a single-point authentication into a multi-step process that enhances security while maintaining manageable complexity.
2Reliability
If multiple biometric scans and gestures are required, then security is enhanced, but the authentication time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-storing multiple biometric scans and gesture data during setup. When authentication is needed, the system compares the current scan and gesture against these pre-stored patterns, significantly reducing the time required for verification while maintaining high security through multiple data points.
Solution Approach 2:
The authentication process uses periodic action by generating random patterns that require sequential completion of multiple scans and gestures within a specified time frame. This structured periodic approach ensures comprehensive verification while managing the time investment through clear temporal boundaries.
3Reliability
If a random authentication pattern is generated, then the system becomes more secure against hacking, but the ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides feedback by displaying the random authentication pattern to the user and guiding them through the required scans and gestures. This feedback mechanism helps users understand what actions are needed, making the complex process more manageable while maintaining security through randomized patterns.
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows users to complete authentication at their own pace by providing clear instructions and allowing them to perform the required scans and gestures according to the displayed pattern. This self-service approach empowers users to navigate the complex authentication process independently.
Data Source
AI summary
A request to authenticate a user is received. A random authentication pattern is generated. For example, the random authentication pattern may be for the user to provide a series of biometric scans and/or gesture scans. Instructions for the random authentication pattern are sent to a communication device (e.g., to a smartphone or smartwatch). A generated authentication pattern is received from the communication device. The generated authentication pattern is compared to a stored set of biometric scans and/or gestures scans that are based on the random authentication pattern. The user is authenticated based on the generated authentication pattern meeting a threshold by comparing the generated authentication pattern to the stored set of biometric scans and/or gestures scans.
