Abstract
A reader configured to perform dual-factor authentication is provided. The reader is configured to analyze credential data as well as event-based user inputs. The event-based user inputs are received in response to the reader presenting one or more events to a user and monitoring the user's reaction thereto. Utilization of an event-based user input enables the reader to perform dual-factor authentication without necessarily being provided with a keyboard or other advanced user input device.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- detecting, at a reader, user input related to one or more events controlled by the reader;
- analyzing the event-based user input;
- and
- based on the analysis of the event-based user input, determining whether the user that provided the user input is allowed access to an asset protected by the reader.
1 more element
A reader, comprising:
- a user interface configured to present one or more events to a user;
- and
- an authentication module configured to monitor user reaction to the one or more events and, based on the user reaction, determine whether the user has provided a valid event-based user input.
An access control system, comprising:
- a reader comprising a user interface configured to present one or more events to a user and an authentication module configured to monitor user reaction to the one or more events and, based on the user reaction, determine whether the user has provided a valid event-based user input;
- and
- a plurality of credentials, each credential comprising credential data stored thereon and being configured to communicate its credential data to the reader.
