Lock Screen Biometric Authentication via Push Messages
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing user authentication methods, such as additional authentication means like OTP and biometric information, are vulnerable to hacking and phishing, and require users to release the lock screen of their terminal for authentication, which is inconvenient and insecure.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that allows users to authenticate using biometric information on a locked terminal by displaying a push message on the lock screen, receiving and comparing biometric data without unlocking the device, and transmitting authentication results through a push server, ensuring secure and hassle-free authentication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If additional authentication means (OTP, IPIN, ARS) are used to enhance security, then security is improved, but the authentication process becomes complicated and troublesome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the authentication interaction from the unlocked state requirement and enables it to occur directly on the lock screen. The biometric authentication is performed while the terminal remains locked, separating the authentication process from the screen unlocking process, thus simplifying the overall authentication flow while maintaining security
Solution Approach 2:
The authentication process is segmented into distinct components: push message reception on lock screen, biometric data collection, authentication verification, and result transmission. This segmentation allows authentication to occur independently without requiring full screen unlock, reducing operational complexity
2Reliability
If biometric information authentication is implemented, then security is improved, but the user must release the lock screen to perform authentication
Solution Approach 1:
The system prepares the authentication interface and push message display on the lock screen before the user unlocks the device. The biometric authentication is initiated in advance while the terminal is still locked, allowing the user to complete authentication without the intermediate step of releasing the lock screen
Solution Approach 2:
The lock screen serves as an intermediary interface that facilitates biometric authentication without requiring screen unlock. The push message and biometric scanner operate through the locked state, acting as a mediator between the authentication system and the user while maintaining security boundaries
3Ease of operation
If ID and password authentication is used, then the process is simple, but the ID and password may be exposed by hacking, SMiShing, and pharming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical/password-based authentication system with biometric information authentication. Instead of relying on user-entered credentials that can be stolen through hacking or phishing, the system uses physiological biometric data (fingerprint, face recognition, iris) that cannot be easily replicated or stolen, thereby enhancing security while maintaining operational simplicity
Data Source
AI summary
Provided is a system for authenticating a user based on a lock screen and a method thereof, and more particularly, to a system for authenticating a user and a method thereof, which operates a user terminal even in a locked state of the user terminal in order to perform user authentication more easily. A system for authenticating a user based on a lock screen may include a push server receiving identification information of a user who accesses an authentication request server and identification information of the authentication request server and generating a push message based on the identification information and transmitting the push message to the user terminal corresponding to the identification information of the user.
