AUTHENTICATING A USER BASED ON EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18267923 titled 'AUTHENTICATING A USER BASED ON EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR
Simplified Explanation
The method described in the patent application involves authenticating a user by obtaining context data, determining a user challenge set based on the context data, transmitting the user challenge set to a user device, obtaining media data, determining the user's behavior captured in the media data, and authenticating the user based on the expected behavior in response to the user challenge set.
- Obtaining context data reflecting the current context of the user
- Determining a user challenge set for the user to perform based on the context data
- Transmitting the user challenge set to a user device for presentation to the user
- Obtaining media data
- Determining the user's behavior captured in the media data
- Authenticating the user based on the expected behavior in response to the user challenge set
Potential Applications
- User authentication for online accounts - Access control for secure facilities - Transaction verification for financial services
Problems Solved
- Improving user authentication security - Preventing unauthorized access to sensitive information - Enhancing user verification processes
Benefits
- Increased security for user authentication - Enhanced protection against unauthorized access - Improved user verification accuracy
Original Abstract Submitted
It is provided a method for authenticating a user (). The method is performed in an authenticator () and comprises the steps of: obtaining () context data reflecting a current context of the user (); determining () a user challenge set for the user () to perform based on the context data, the user challenge set comprising at least one user challenge, wherein each user challenge indicates an action for the user() to perform in relation to at least one object (-I); transmitting () the user challenge set to a user device (), for presenting the user challenge set to the user (); obtaining () media data; determining () a behaviour of the user () captured in the media data; and authenticating () the user (), when the media data indicates an expected behaviour of the user () in response to the user challenge set.
