AI summary

A system/method to store and compare computer generated vector lines through an insecure or a secure communication channel. Using an input device (i.e. computer Keyboard, finger, soft keypad, or any other input from body movements, electrical current, or impulses, or input from human or mechanical sound waves) to a physical machine, or through a token (i.e. credit card, USB token, which can be carried around by user), a user enters and sends their unique identifier and reference code (i.e. PIN, password, other secret code) to the physical machine by making a contact or contact-less to the computer system. As part of the enrollment process the user inscribes a pre-determined set of continuous vector lines (CVLs). The CVLs include data points that are collected from any computer pointing device in a specific format, using a push down anatomical technique and are sent to local active content (i.e. a library, or a program, or an add-on to the internet browser i.e. ActiveX) or a remote server for further analysis of the two CVLs. A user should go through an Enrollment and Verification process to capture the data points and this process uses a two factor authentication and a verification scheme. The collected data points that represent a CVL profile made previously is kept in a database, registry, or memory that can be encrypted and accessed (locally or remotely) by using a reference number or other unique identifier to enable the comparison of a newly generated CVL identifier to the previously generated one.
