Abstract
According to embodiments of the present disclosure, systems and methods for authenticating a user according to the structure of their hands are provided. According to one embodiment, an Information Handling System (IHS) includes a surface device, a processor, and a memory with program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause an Information Handling System (IHS) to receive a plurality of signals representing a plurality of pressure points that have been actuated on the surface device, generate a passcode according to a position of each pressure point relative to one another, and compare the generated passcode with a stored baseline passcode to authenticate the user. The pressure points represent at least one hand of the user.
Claims20
A hand structure authentication system comprising:
- a surface device;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution, cause an Information Handling System (IHS) to:
- receive a plurality of signals representing a plurality of pressure points that have been actuated on the surface device, the pressure points representing a hand of a user;
- generate a passcode according to a position of each pressure point relative to one another;
- and
- compare the generated passcode with a stored baseline passcode to authenticate the user.
A hand structure authentication method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of signals representing a plurality of pressure points that have been actuated on a surface device, the pressure points representing a hand of a user;
- generating a passcode according to a position of each pressure point relative to one another;
- and
- comparing the generated passcode with a stored baseline passcode to authenticate the user.
A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by an Information Handling System (IHS), cause the IHS to:
- receive a plurality of signals representing a plurality of pressure points that have been actuated on a surface device, the pressure points representing a hand of a user;
- generate a passcode according to a position of each pressure point relative to one another;
- and
- compare the generated passcode with a stored baseline passcode to authenticate the user.
