Immersive Environment MFA With Custom Pose And 3D Signatures
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current authentication systems in immersive environments lack robust multi-factor authentication methods, leading to security vulnerabilities and resource inefficiencies, as they fail to utilize personal signatures or actions for unique user identification and secure access.
Innovation Solution
An authentication system that captures a user's custom pose and signature in a three-dimensional space to generate pose and signature identifiers, providing secure multi-factor authentication by verifying these identifiers for access and actions within immersive environments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional authentication systems are used in immersive environments, then device complexity is reduced, but security reliability deteriorates due to lack of multi-factor authentication and susceptibility to compromise
Solution Approach 1:
The authentication system is segmented into multiple independent factors: possession factor (device), knowledge factor (credentials), and behavioral factor (biometric data such as gaze patterns, head movements, and interaction styles). Each factor operates independently and contributes to the overall authentication decision, enhancing security while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular design
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an authentication mediator component that coordinates between different authentication factors and the immersive environment. This intermediary manages the complex interactions between biometric sensors, credential verification, and access control decisions, isolating the complexity from both the user interface and core security protocols
2Reliability
If robust multi-factor authentication with biometric data is implemented, then security reliability improves, but device complexity increases due to multiple authentication factors and processing requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The authentication system dynamically adjusts the number and type of factors required based on context: low-risk operations may require only possession and knowledge factors, while high-risk transactions trigger additional biometric verification. This dynamic adaptation reduces average complexity while maintaining maximum security when needed
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes authentication parameters (number of required factors, types of biometric data collected, verification thresholds) based on risk assessment, user preferences, and environmental context. This parameter flexibility allows the system to optimize between security and complexity for different scenarios
3Productivity
If traditional authentication systems are used, then ease of operation is maintained, but productivity deteriorates due to repeated authentication attempts and resource consumption
Solution Approach 1:
Biometric authentication data is collected and processed in advance during normal device usage, building authentication profiles before actual authentication events. This preliminary data collection enables faster verification during authentication attempts, improving both productivity and ease of operation
Solution Approach 2:
The authentication system operates continuously in the background, monitoring biometric data and maintaining authentication states without interrupting user workflows. This continuous operation eliminates repeated full authentication cycles while maintaining security, thereby improving productivity without sacrificing ease of use
Data Source
AI summary
A device may receive, from a user device, a custom pose of a user of an immersive environment, and may generate a pose identifier for the user based on the custom pose. The device may receive, from the user device, a custom signature of the user in a three-dimensional space, and may generate a signature identifier for the user based on the custom signature. The device may authenticate the user to access the immersive environment based on at least the pose identifier.
