Systems and methods for biometric authentication of certificate signing request processing

A biometric certification request authentication (BCRA) computing device for authenticating a requestor undergoing a certificate signing request process, the BCRA computing device comprising at least one processor in communication with a memory device, the BCRA computing device configured to:

• receive, from a requestor computing device, a service selection request message that identifies a certificate service type for which the requestor requires a certificate;
• determine that an approval policy associated with the certificate service type requires authentication validation for the requestor and a supervisor of the requestor;
• transmit i) a first biometric sample request message to the requestor computing device, wherein the first biometric sample request message prompts the requestor to provide a first biometric sample, and ii) a second biometric sample request message to a supervisor computing device associated with the supervisor, wherein the second biometric sample request message prompts the supervisor to provide a second biometric sample;
• authenticate i) the first biometric sample received from the requestor computing device by determining a match between the first biometric sample and a stored biometric sample for the requestor, and ii) the second biometric sample received from the supervisor computing device by determining a match between the second biometric sample and a stored biometric sample for the supervisor;
• and
• based on the authentication, initiate providing a certificate file to the requestor computing device.

A method for authenticating a requestor undergoing a certificate signing request process, the method implemented using a biometric certification request authentication (BCRA) computing device, the BCRA computing device comprising at least one processor in communication with to a memory device, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a requestor computing device, a service selection request message that identifies a certificate service type for which the requestor requires a certificate;
• determining that an approval policy associated with the certificate service type requires authentication validation for the requestor and a supervisor of the requestor;
• transmitting i) a first biometric sample request message to the requestor computing device, wherein the first biometric sample request message prompts the requestor to provide a first biometric sample, and ii) a second biometric sample request message to a supervisor computing device associated with the supervisor, wherein the second biometric sample request message prompts the supervisor to provide a second biometric sample;
• authenticating i) the first biometric sample received from the requestor computing device by determining a match between the first biometric sample and a stored biometric sample for the requestor, and ii) the second biometric sample received from the supervisor computing device by determining a match between the second biometric sample and a stored biometric sample for the supervisor;
• and
• based on the authentication, initiating providing a certificate file to the requestor computing device.

A non-transitory computer readable medium that includes computer-executable instructions for authenticating a requestor undergoing a certificate signing request process, wherein when executed by a biometric certification request authentication (BCRA) computing device coupled to a memory device, the computer-executable instructions cause the BCRA computing device to:

• receive, from a requestor computing device, a service selection request message that identifies a certificate service type for which the requestor requires a certificate;
• determine that an approval policy associated with the certificate service type requires authentication validation for the requestor and a supervisor of the requestor;
• transmit i) a first biometric sample request message to the requestor computing device, wherein the first biometric sample request message prompts the requestor to provide a first biometric sample, and ii) a second biometric sample request message to a supervisor computing device associated with the supervisor, wherein the second biometric sample request message prompts the supervisor to provide a second biometric sample;
• authenticate i) the first biometric sample received from the requestor computing device by determining a match between the first biometric sample and a stored biometric sample for the requestor, and ii) the second biometric sample received from the supervisor computing device by determining a match between the second biometric sample and a stored biometric sample for the supervisor;
• and
• based on the authentication, initiate providing a certificate file to the requestor computing device.
