Electroencephalogram hashing device for authentication and routing

A secure platform for authenticating and/or routing a digital signal, the platform comprising:

• a central database, said central database configured to store a set of signature responses as part of a profile of a user, wherein each signature response from the set of signature responses comprises a pattern of brain activity detected by an electroencephalogram (EEG) when the user is presented with a sensory prompt from a set of sensory prompts;
• a transaction device configured to receive a transaction request;
• a sensory device configured to present to the user a sensory prompt;
• and
• an EEG device configured to detect brain activity of the user;
• wherein, when a transaction request is received from the user via the transaction device, the platform is configured to:
• present the user, via the sensory device, with a first sensory prompt from the set of sensory prompts;
• detect, via the EEG, a response of the user to the first sensory prompt, said response comprising a pattern of brain activity;
• compare the response to the signature response in the profile associated with the first sensory prompt;
• and
• when the response matches the signature response within a predetermined delta, authenticate and/or route the transaction request.

A secure method for authenticating and/or routing a digital signal, the method comprising:

• recording a set of signature responses of a user, wherein each signature response from the set of signature responses comprises a pattern of brain activity detected by an electroencephalogram (EEG) when the user is presented with a sensory prompt from a set of sensory prompts;
• storing the set of signature responses in a central database as part of a profile of the user;
• receiving a request from the user to initiate a transaction;
• presenting to the user a first sensory prompt from the set of sensory prompts;
• detecting, via an EEG, a response of the user to the first sensory prompt, said response comprising a pattern of brain activity;
• comparing the response to the signature response in the profile associated with the first sensory prompt;
• and
• when the response matches the signature response within a predetermined delta, authenticating and/or routing the transaction;
• wherein:
• to perform the authenticating, the method comprises matching the response to the signature response to confirm that the request was transmitted by the user;
• to perform the routing, the method further comprises:
• presenting the first sensory prompt as part of a plurality of sensory prompts, each of the plurality of sensory prompts being from the set of sensory prompts;
• presenting each of the plurality of sensory prompts in conjunction with a different transaction option from a plurality of transaction options;
• determining which signature response is a closest match to the response;
• determining which sensory prompt is mapped to the signature response that is the closest match;
• determining which transaction option was presented in conjunction with said sensory prompt;
• and
• routing the request to a central server to execute said transaction option;
• and
• the predetermined delta is a first predetermined delta when authenticating the transaction, and a second predetermined delta when routing the transaction, and the first predetermined delta is smaller than the second predetermined delta.
