Abstract
It is provided a method for handling an authentication request (100), the method comprises the steps of: acquiring data from at least two sensors (110a, 110b), wherein the acquired data is synchronized when captured by the at least two sensors (110a, 110b); providing the acquired, synchronized data to an isolated execution environment (120); comparing the synchronized data with synchronization dependent authentication rules; authenticating the request, and notifying a function addressed by the request, in case the synchronized data comply with said authentication rules.
Claims22
A method for handling an authentication request, the method comprising:
- acquiring, in response to receiving a request, data from at least two sensors, wherein the acquired data is synchronized when captured by the at least two sensors;
- providing the acquired data to an isolated execution environment;
- comparing the acquired data with synchronization dependent authentication rules that require data from different sensors to be coherent with one another to an extent which indicates the data from different sensors were acquired at the same location;
- and
- authenticating the authentication request, and notifying a function addressed by the authentication request, in case the acquired data comply with said synchronization dependent authentication rules.
A communication device for handling an authentication request, the communication device comprising processing circuitry configured to:
- acquire data from at least two sensors, wherein the acquired data is synchronized when captured by the at least two sensors;
- provide the acquired data to an isolated execution environment;
- compare the acquired data with synchronization dependent authentication rules that require data from different sensors to be coherent with one another to an extent which indicates the data from different sensors were acquired at the same location;
- and
- authenticate the authentication request, and notify a function addressed by the authentication request, in case the acquired data comply with said synchronization dependent authentication rules.
A system for handling an authentication request, the system comprising:
- a user device;
- at least two sensors;
- and
- an isolated execution environment, arranged within a cloud server;
- wherein the system is configured to:
- acquire data from the at least two sensors, wherein the acquired data is synchronized when captured by the at least two sensors;
- provide the acquired data to the isolated execution environment;
- compare the acquired data with synchronization dependent authentication rules that require data from different sensors to be coherent with one another to an extent which indicates the data from different sensors were acquired at the same location;
- authenticate the authentication request, and notify a function addressed by the authentication request, in case the acquired data comply with said synchronization dependent authentication rules.
