Eye movement based knowledge demonstration

An apparatus, comprising:

• a sensor;
• and
• a processor coupled to the sensor to operate processing logic, wherein the processing logic is to control access to one or more resources of the apparatus;
• wherein to control includes to:
• display an alphanumeric password having one or more alphabetic, numeric or special characters, embedded within a plurality of alphabetic, numeric or special characters obfuscating the password;
• receive an input from the sensor;
• determine whether the input comprises a pattern of eye movements that is consistent with an expected pattern of eye movements of a user, when the user attempts to visually locate the one or more alphabetic, numeric or special characters of the password embedded within the plurality of alphabetic, numeric or special characters, demonstrating that the password is previously known to the user;
• and
• grant or deny access to the one or more resources, based at least in part on a result of the determination.

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor and the memory including a computer-readable medium having instructions to cause the system, in response to execution by the processor, to control access to one or more resources of the system, wherein to control includes to:
• display an alphanumeric password having one or more alphabetic, numeric or special characters, embedded within a plurality of alphabetic, numeric or special characters obfuscating the password;
• receive an input;
• determine whether the input comprises a pattern of eye movements that is consistent with an expected pattern of eye movements of a user when the user attempts to visually locate the one or more alphabetic, numeric or special characters of the password embedded in the plurality of alphabetic, numeric or special characters, demonstrating that the password is previously known to the user;
• and
• grant or deny access to the one or more resources, based at least in part on a result of whether data is determined to be consistent with the expected pattern of eye movements of the user.

A method for controlling access to one or more resources, comprising:

• displaying, by a computer device, an alphanumeric password having one or more alphabetic, numeric or special characters, embedded within a plurality of alphabetic, numeric or special characters obfuscating the password;
• receiving, by the computer device, an input;
• determining, by the computer device, whether the input comprises a pattern of eye movements that is consistent with an expected pattern of eye movements of a user when the user attempts to visually locate the one or more alphabetic, numeric or special characters of the password embedded within the plurality of alphabetic, numeric or special characters obfuscating the password, demonstrating that the password is previously known to the user;
• and
• granting or denying access, by the computer device, to the one or more resources, based at least in part on a result of the determining.
