MULTI-FACTOR ENABLED ACCESS USING RANDOMLY SELECTED DIGITAL IDENTITY AUTHENTICATION FACTORS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240333708 titled 'MULTI-FACTOR ENABLED ACCESS USING RANDOMLY SELECTED DIGITAL IDENTITY AUTHENTICATION FACTORS
The patent application describes techniques for providing multifactor authentication using randomly selected digital identity factors associated with a human user seeking access to a facility, building, computer system, network, application, memory, etc.
- Randomly selected digital identity factors are retrieved and stored by an authentication agent.
- The digital identity factors can be retrieved from a network such as the internet or provided by a customer.
- Upon receiving a request for authentication, a plurality of digital authentication factors are randomly selected.
- A request is sent to an environment associated with the human individual seeking access, including information regarding the randomly selected digital authentication factors.
- A reply is received with information regarding the randomly selected authentication factors.
- The information in the reply is compared with the randomly selected digital identity factors to determine access.
Potential Applications: - Secure access control systems - Online banking and financial transactions - Data protection in healthcare and government sectors
Problems Solved: - Enhances security by using multifactor authentication - Reduces the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive information
Benefits: - Improved security measures - Enhanced protection of personal and sensitive data - Streamlined authentication process for users
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Multifactor Authentication System for Secure Access Control This technology can be applied in industries such as banking, healthcare, government, and IT security companies to provide secure access control solutions for their clients.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve security measures compared to traditional authentication methods? - This technology enhances security by adding multiple layers of authentication, making it more difficult for unauthorized users to gain access. 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this multifactor authentication system in large organizations? - Large organizations may face challenges in integrating this system with existing infrastructure and ensuring seamless user experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
techniques are described for providing multifactor authentication using randomly selected digital identity factors associated with a human user or individual seeking access to a facility, building, computer system, network, application, memory, etc. digital identity factors are or memory. digital identity factors are retrieved and stored by an authentication agent. the digital identity factors can be retrieved from a network such as the internet or can be previously provided by a customer or human individual requesting authorization. upon receiving a request for authentication, a plurality of digital authentication factors are randomly selected. a request is sent to an environment associated with the human individual seeking access, the request including information regarding the randomly selected digital authentication factors. a reply is received having information regarding the randomly selected authentication factors. the information in the reply is compared with the randomly digital identity factors to determine whether to grant or deny access.
