System and method for independent user effort-based validation

A system for performing a method of authenticating a user based on user efforts, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• a communication device coupled to the processor for communicating with other devices;
• and
• a memory storing computer readable instructions coupled to the processor, the instructions for execution by the processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a registration from a user device with a token that includes user effort-based identity authorization data, and with a first user effort comprising gestures associated with user device touch screen user interaction;
• submitting the first user effort and data from the token to the effort validation server;
• receiving an effort analysis from the effort validation server;
• issuing a credential to the user device based on the effort analysis the credential comprising user effort data encoded into a QR code;
• receiving an access request from the user device, the access request including the credential and a second user effort;
• providing the second user effort to the validation server;
• receiving a validation response from the validation server, wherein the validation response includes a validation key that includes both rendered Boolean match conclusion and statistics about the calculations, as well as information about the challenge;
• and
• granting access to the user device as a function of the validation response.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage device having instructions for execution by a processor of a machine to cause the processor to perform operations to perform a method, the operations comprising:

• receiving a registration from a user device with a token that includes user effort-based identity authorization data, and with a first user effort comprising gestures associated with user device touch screen user interaction;
• submitting the first user effort and data from the token to the effort validation server;
• receiving an effort analysis from the effort validation server;
• issuing a credential to the user device based on the effort analysis the credential comprising user effort data encoded into a QR code;
• receiving an access request from the user device, the access request including the credential and a second user effort;
• providing the second user effort to the validation server;
• receiving a validation response from the validation server, wherein the validation response includes a validation key that includes both rendered Boolean match conclusion and statistics about the calculations, as well as information about the challenge;
• and
• granting access to the user device as a function of the validation response.
