20140270403 | METHOD OF HOST-DIRECTED ILLUMINATION AND SYSTEM FOR CONDUCTING HOST-DIRECTED ILLUMINATION - A method of host-directed illumination for verifying the validity of biometric data of a user is provided that includes capturing biometric data from a user with an authentication device during authentication and directing illumination of the biometric data from a host authentication system during the capturing operation. Moreover, the method includes comparing illumination characteristics of the captured biometric data against illumination characteristics expected to result from the directing operation, and determining that the user is a live user when the illumination characteristics of the captured biometric data match the illumination characteristics expected to result from the directing operation. | 09-18-2014 |
20110209200 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AUTHENTICATING USERS - A method of authenticating users to reduce transaction risks includes indicating a desire to conduct a transaction and determining whether the transaction requires access to protected resources. Moreover, the method determines whether inputted information is known, determines a state of a communications device when the inputted information is known, and transmits a biometric authentication request from a server to an authentication system when the state of the communications device is enrolled. Additionally, the method includes validating the communications device, capturing biometric authentication data in accordance with a biometric authentication data capture request with the communications device, biometrically authenticating the user, generating a one-time pass-phrase and storing the one-time pass-phrase on the authentication system when the user is authenticated, comparing the transmitted one-time pass-phrase against the stored one-time pass-phrase, and granting access to the protected resources when the transmitted and stored one-time pass-phrases match. | 08-25-2011 |
20090164796 | ANONYMOUS BIOMETRIC TOKENS - A biometrically enabled machine readable token is biometrically associated with the user or owner of the token. Such a token may be generated by initially providing biometric data of the user, and concealing the biometric data such that the biometric data is selectively accessible. The concealed biometric data is then used in generation of a token request message either by embedding the concealed biometric data into the token request message or by providing a concealed link thereto within the token request message. Once a token request message is received by a token issuer the concealed biometric data may be associated with the token. As the biometric data is concealed the specifics of that data are not accessible to third parties. Optionally the authenticity of the token may be effected by having the token issuer digitally signing the token. | 06-25-2009 |
