Abstract
Methods and systems for authenticating identity credentials are provided. An identity credential is proofed and issued with biometric and enrollment data, as well as a graphical seal. The identity credential is later presented for authentication, and the seal is used to access the biometric and enrollment data. Live biometric and identification data are compared to the identity credential, and the identity credential may be authenticated.
Claims20
An identity credential authentication (ICA) computing device comprising a processor communicatively coupled to a memory, the ICA computing device configured to:
- receive enrollment data associated with an identity credential to be issued and an initial biometric sample associated with a credential owner of the identity credential;
- encrypt the received enrollment data and initial biometric sample;
- generate a graphical seal encoding the encrypted data;
- store the encrypted data in a storage location, wherein the storage location is accessible using the graphical seal;
- and
- initiate application of the graphical seal to the identity credential upon issuance of the identity credential.
An identity credential authentication (ICA) computing device comprising a processor communicatively coupled to a memory, the ICA computing device configured to:
- receive an image of an identity credential presented for authentication, the image of the identity credential depicting a graphical seal applied to the identity credential;
- receive a live biometric sample from a credential owner of the identity credential;
- decode enrollment data and an initial biometric sample encoded in the graphical seal;
- extract live identification data from the image of the identity credential;
- compare the live identification data to the enrollment data;
- compare the live biometric sample to the initial biometric sample;
- and
- authenticate the identity credential based on an outcome of the comparisons.
