Abstract
Real-time facial recognition is augmented with an additional second biometric-based security gesture authentication. Facial biometric authentication is performed on a user for access to a resource. When facial authentication is successful, an image or a video of the user is captured performing a security gesture. Pixel values from the image or video are compared against expected pixel values for the security gesture and when the comparison is within a threshold, the user is provided access to the resource.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- processing a facial authentication on a face of a user;
- and
- performing a security gesture authentication based on a gesture made by the user;
- and
- providing the user access to a resource when both the facial authentication and the security gesture authentication are successful.
2 more elements
A method, comprising:
- obtaining an image of a face of a user during a registration of the user for facial and security gesture authentication;
- receiving selections from the user for user-selected security gestures;
- identifying a user-defined security attribute provided by the user;
- registering the user for the facial and security gesture authentication using the image, the selections, and the user-defined security attribute;
- and
- processing the facial and security gesture authentication on the user during a transaction in which the user is attempting to access a resource.
3 more elements
A system (SST), comprising:
- a device;
- at least one camera interfaced to the device;
- and
- a server having a facial and gesture authenticator;
- wherein the facial and gesture authenticator is configured to:
- (i) execute on at least one hardware processor of the server;
- (ii) dynamically perform facial authentication on a face of a user during a transaction being processed on the device, (iii) dynamically perform security gesture authentication on a gesture made by the user during the transaction, and (iii) provide an indication to the device as to whether the user was successfully authenticated for the facial authentication and the security gesture authentication for the user to continue with the transaction on the device.
