Multi-biometric Authentication System for Party Relationships
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current biometric authentication systems rely on a single biometric for multiple purposes, which can lead to inefficiencies and potential illegalities, especially when secondary parties access accounts or engage in business relationships, as passwords can be lost or stolen.
Innovation Solution
A multi-biometric authentication system that utilizes multiple biometrics for different purposes and allows primary parties to authorize secondary parties, linking their biometrics for secure access and participation in party relationships through a processing system that securely processes biometric and business data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a single biometric is used for multiple purposes and password-based access for secondary parties, then system simplicity and ease of operation are maintained, but security and reliability deteriorate due to risks of password loss or theft
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the authentication system by creating separate biometric authentication pathways for different purposes: primary parties use their own biometrics for account access, while secondary parties use their own biometrics for authorized access to party relationships. This eliminates the need for passwords and separates authentication mechanisms, improving security without requiring complex password management systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a universal biometric authentication framework that handles multiple authentication scenarios through a single system architecture. The processing system can authenticate both primary parties accessing their own accounts and secondary parties accessing authorized party relationships, using the same biometric verification mechanism. This multi-functionality improves security while maintaining system simplicity.
2Reliability
If multiple biometrics are implemented for different purposes and parties, then security and reliability improve, but device complexity and system management increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables self-service authentication where primary parties register their own biometrics and authorize secondary parties, while secondary parties register their own biometrics and autonomously access authorized party relationships. The system automatically manages the complex relationships and permissions without requiring manual intervention, improving ease of operation despite multiple biometrics being used.
Solution Approach 2:
The processing system acts as an intermediary that automatically manages the complex relationships between multiple biometrics, primary parties, and secondary parties. It handles the authorization logic, matches biometrics to appropriate party relationships, and enforces access controls, thereby simplifying system management while maintaining high security through multiple biometric verifications.
3Ease of operation
If passwords are used for secondary party access, then ease of operation is maintained, but loss of information and unauthorized access risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical password-based authentication system with a biometric authentication system for secondary parties. Instead of relying on memorized passwords that can be lost or stolen, secondary parties use their unique biometric characteristics (fingerprints, facial recognition, etc.) to authenticate themselves to authorized party relationships. This substitution maintains ease of operation through contactless authentication while eliminating password security risks.
