Abstract
A biometric authentication system may include a centralized database including stored biometric signature information for authenticating a user of one or more external systems. The biometric authentication system may extract data attributes from a biometric signature of the user and compare them to the stored biometric signature information in the database. The biometric authentication system may identify user identifier information associated with a signature key stored of the stored biometric signature information that matches the data attributes to authenticate the user to access secure information.
Claims20
A biometric authentication system, comprising:
- a centralized database communicatively couplable to one or more external systems and including stored biometric signature information for authenticating a user of the one or more external systems;
- a processor communicatively coupled to the centralized database;
- and
- a memory communicatively coupled to the processor and including instructions executable by the processor for causing the processor to:
- extract a first set of data attributes from a biometric signature of the user, the biometric signature corresponding to electrical activity of the user's heart obtained by a biometric sensor in physical contact with the user;
- compare one or more data attributes in the first set of data attributes to the stored biometric signature information in the centralized database, the stored biometric signature information including a plurality of signature keys, each signature key of the plurality of signature keys corresponding to a stored set of data attributes extracted from corresponding biometric signatures of a plurality of users;
- identify user identifier information associated with a stored signature key of the plurality of signature keys matching the first set of data attributes;
- and
- authenticate, based on a match between the one or more data attributes and the stored signature key, the user to access secure information associated with the user identifier information.
A method, comprising:
- receiving a biometric signature from a biometric sensor, the biometric signature corresponding to electrical activity of a user's heart measured by the biometric sensor;
- extracting a first set of data attributes from the biometric signature;
- comparing one or more data attributes in the first set of data attributes to stored biometric signature information in a centralized database accessible to one or more systems, the stored biometric signature information including a plurality of signature keys, each signature key of the plurality of signature keys corresponding to a stored set of data attributes extracted from corresponding biometric signatures of a plurality of users;
- identifying user identifier information associated with a stored signature key of the plurality of signature keys matching the first set of data attributes;
- and
- authenticating, based on a match between the first set of data attributes and the stored signature key, the user to access secure information associated with the user identifier information.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program code executable by a processor to cause the processor to:
- receive a biometric signature from a biometric sensor, the biometric signature corresponding to electrical activity of a user's heart measured by the biometric sensor;
- extract a first set of data attributes from the biometric signature;
- compare one or more data attributes in the first set of data attributes to stored biometric signature information in a centralized database accessible to one or more systems, the stored biometric signature information including a plurality of signature keys, each signature key of the plurality of signature keys corresponding to a stored set of data attributes extracted from corresponding biometric signatures of a plurality of users;
- identify user identifier information associated with a stored signature key of the plurality of signature keys matching the first set of data attributes;
- and
- authenticate, based on a match between the one or more data attributes and the stored signature key, the user to access secure information associated with the user identifier information.
