Abstract
An improved authentication, identification, and/or verification system is provided in various embodiments. The system is provided for use in relation to provisioning access or establishing identity in relation to one or more human users, and may be used in a single site/scenario/system, or across multiple sites/scenarios/systems. A combination of biometric modalities and authentication mechanisms having diverse characteristics are utilized to establish identity, the diverse characteristics being utilized to modify aspects of identity management and access provisioning.
Claims18
A central adaptive identity verification system for provisioning identity verification in relation to an identity of one or more users, the system automatically adapting user identification decisions to a local user identification control challenge request, the central adaptive identity verification system comprising:
- one or more local computing devices each having a local computer memory, a local processor and one or more local identity sensor devices, the local processor is configured to receive one or more local identity information data sets obtained from the one or more local identity sensor devices and receive the local user identification control challenge request, and upon each attempted verification of attempted verifications of the one or more users at a local computing device of the one or more local computing devices against identity template data stored within the local computing device corresponding to a specific user of the one or more users, modify an adapted local confidence score aggregated from each contribution of adapted local confidence scores corresponding to the one or more users to the adapted local confidence score from each of the attempted verifications at the one or more local computing devices, wherein each of the contribution to the adapted local confidence score from each of the attempted verifications is tuned based on at least one of a false rejection rate or a false positive rate associated with a modality corresponding to each of the attempted verifications;
- a central processor stored on a central computer memory configured to:
- receive at periodic intervals from the one or more local computing devices the adapted local confidence scores, the one or more local identity information data sets and the local user identification control challenge requests associated with the identity template data of the one or more users;
- modify an adapted central confidence score corresponding to the specific user of the one or more users aggregated from at least the adapted local confidence scores for the specific user received from the one or more local computing devices, transmit the adapted central confidence score for the specific user to a requesting local computing device upon the requesting local computing device receiving an identifier corresponding to the adapted central confidence score of the specific user stored within the central computer memory, the adapted central confidence score received by the requesting local computing device modifies or replaces the adapted local confidence score for the specific user stored within the local computer memory;
- and
- wherein the requesting local computing device generates a response signal representing an access provisioning signal for controlling an access control mechanism to request an additional user identification control challenge based on the modified or replaced adapted local confidence score exceeding or being below a required local confidence score threshold.
A central adaptive identity verification method for provisioning identity verification in relation to an identity of one or more users, the method automatically adapting user identification decisions to a local user identification control challenge request, the central adaptive identity verification method comprising:
