Abstract
A system and algorithms to authenticate a person where a system only has some standard personal text data about the person, and cannot have a real biometric template obtained using an enrollment procedure. The authentication allows access to restricted resources by the person. This method is especially useful when it is used as an auxiliary authentication service with other methods such as password or Callback that dramatically lower the chances for an imposter.
Claims10
A method for authenticating a user comprising:
- receiving a biometric input from said user;
- extracting at least one biometric-based parameter from said biometric input;
- comparing said at least one biometric-based parameter to a corresponding biometric based parameter of said user, wherein said corresponding biometric based parameter is not based on a pre-stored biometric template, said biometric template is a biometric signature of said user;
- and
- authenticating said user based on said comparison.
2 more elements
A system for authenticating a user comprising:
- at least one data terminal to receive biometric input of said user;
- at least one extraction unit to extract at least one biometric-based parameter from said biometric input;
- a storage unit to store at least one personal data parameter of the user;
- at least one authentication unit to authenticate said user based on comparison of said at least one extracted biometric-based parameter to a corresponding known user data parameter in said personal details record,
- wherein said known user parameter is not based on a pre-stored biometric template, said biometric template is a biometric signature of said user;
- and
- an access control management unit to control the access of said user to at least one restricted resource based on the result of said authentication unit.
