Abstract
Techniques for biochemcally-enabled security/authentication mechanisms are described herein. In an example embodiment, a security system receives a biological sample from a key. The biological sample includes a set of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) oligos that represent a code assigned to the key. The set of DNA oligos is sequenced to obtain a set of read sequences. The set of read sequences is then filtered to identify a set of filtered sequences. The set of filtered sequences is matched to sets of expected sequences, where the sets of expected sequences are assigned to respective keys issued for the security system. Access to a resource is then granted or denied based on whether the set of filtered sequences matches with any set from the sets of expected sequences.
Claims20
A method for controlling access to a resource, the method comprising:
- receiving a biological sample from a key, wherein the biological sample includes a set of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) oligos that represent a code assigned to the key;
- sequencing the set of DNA oligos to obtain a set of read sequences (RS);
- filtering the set of RS to identify a set of filtered sequences (FS);
- comparing the set of FS to sets of expected sequences (ES), wherein the sets of ES are assigned to respective issued keys;
- and
- granting or denying access to the resource based on whether the set of FS matches with any set from the sets of ES.
