Questions about User Authentication
How does the technology prevent brute force attacks?
The technology increases network usage costs as authentication attempts fail, making it cost-prohibitive for malicious actors to perform brute force attacks.
What are the potential applications of biometric information in user authentication?
Biometric information such as fingerprints, facial recognition, and voice recognition can provide additional verification and security when authentication is performed.
Original Abstract Submitted
In some aspects, a computing system may authenticate a user before blockchain functions may be performed and provide obstacles to prevent brute force attacks in decentralized computing systems or other distributed computing system environments. The computing system may use a smart contract to assist with authenticating a user. As authentication attempts fail, the computing system may increase a network usage cost associated with authentication. By doing so, the security of a computing system may be improved by making it cost-prohibitive for malicious actors to perform brute force attacks. Further, a computing system may use a variety of biometric information that may provide additional verification and security when authentication is performed.
