Abstract
A method, system and device are provided for authenticating a signature made by a signer. When the signer is making the signature a biometric quantity associated with the signer may be sampled. The sampling generates a sequence of biometric samples of the biometric quantity. Continuity of generated sequence of biometric samples of the biometric quantity is validated. Each of the biometric samples of the biometric quantity in the generated sequence is validated. The signature of the signer may be authenticated when the generated sequence of biometric samples is validated, and a continuity of the biometric samples is validated.
Claims28
A method for authenticating a signature made by a signer, comprising:
- generating a sequence of biometric samples of a biometric quantity by sampling the biometric quantity associated with the signer while the signer is making the signature;
- validating a continuity of the generated sequence of biometric samples;
- validating each biometric sample in the generated sequence of biometric samples;
- and
- authenticating the signature of the signer when the generated sequence of biometric samples is validated and the continuity of the sequence of biometric samples is validated.
A system for authenticating a signature made by a signer, comprising:
- a biometric sensor;
- and
- a processor coupled to the biometric sensor, the processor configured with processor readable instructions for performing operations comprising:
- generating a sequence of biometric samples of a biometric quantity by sampling the biometric sensor for a biometric quantity associated with the signer while the signer is making the signature;
- validating a continuity of the generated sequence of biometric samples of the biometric quantity;
- validating each biometric sample in the generated sequence of biometric samples of the biometric quantity;
- and
- authenticating the signature of the signer when the generated sequence of biometric samples is validated, and the continuity of the sequence of biometric samples is validated.
A system for authenticating a signature made by a signer, comprising:
- a biometric sensor;
- means for generating a sequence of biometric samples of a biometric quantity by sampling the biometric sensor for a biometric quantity associated with the signer;
- means for validating a continuity of the generated sequence of biometric samples of the biometric quantity;
- means for validating each biometric sample in the generated sequence of biometric samples of the biometric quantity;
- and
- means for authenticating the signature of the signer when the generated sequence of biometric samples is validated, and the continuity of the sequence of biometric samples is validated.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon processor-executable instructions configured to cause a processor to perform operations for authenticating a signature made by a signer comprising:
- generating a sequence of biometric samples of a biometric quantity by sampling a biometric sensor for the biometric quantity associated with the signer;
- validating a continuity of the generated sequence of biometric samples of the biometric quantity;
- validating each biometric sample in the generated sequence of biometric samples of the biometric quantity;
- and
- authenticating the signature of the signer when the generated sequence of biometric samples is validated, and the continuity of the sequence of biometric samples is validated.
