Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional biometric authentication credentials are used, then authentication can be performed, but the credentials can be stolen, cloned, or reused by unauthorized users
Solution Approach 1:
The patent generates single-use authentication credentials that are valid only for one authentication attempt and then discarded. Each credential is created fresh for a specific authentication request and becomes invalid after use, eliminating the risk of reuse, cloning, or theft by unauthorized users.
Solution Approach 2:
The authentication credentials are dynamically generated based on the specific authentication request, user biometric data, and random parameters. Each credential is unique and cannot be predicted or replicated, providing adaptive security that prevents static credential theft.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple authentication credentials are stored for different users, then authentication flexibility is improved, but the system complexity and data management requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-processes and stores only the essential biometric features and user identifiers, while the actual authentication credentials are generated on-demand during authentication requests. This preliminary preparation reduces the amount of data that needs to be managed while maintaining authentication flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts only the necessary biometric characteristics from the full biometric data and uses these extracted features to generate credentials. This extraction process simplifies data management by storing only essential information while maintaining the ability to generate diverse authentication credentials.
3Ease of operation
If biometric data is processed and stored for authentication, then user authentication can be performed, but the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access increases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of storing actual biometric data, the system creates synthetic authentication credentials that are derived from biometric features but do not contain the raw biometric information itself. These credentials can be copied and transmitted for authentication without exposing the underlying biometric data, reducing breach impact.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces authentication credentials as an intermediary between the user's biometric data and the authentication verification process. The credentials serve as a temporary bridge that allows authentication without storing or exposing the sensitive biometric information, thereby reducing data breach risk.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for generating on-demand single-use biometric authentication credentials. The system is configured for determining initiation of an authentication request to access a resource from a user device of a user, prompting the user to select a type of authentication credential from one or more types of authentication credentials, receiving a selection of the type of the authentication credential, instantaneously generating a single-use unique authentication credential associated with the type of the authentication credential, via one or more machine learning models, and transmitting the single-use unique authentication credential to the user device for use in authentication of the user in gaining accessing to the resource.
