Abstract: Authenticity and responsiveness of evidence (e.g., biometric evidence) may be validated without regard for whether there is direct control over a sensor that acquired the evidence. In some implementations, only a data block containing evidence that is (1) appended with a server-generated challenge (e.g., a nonce) and (2) signed or encrypted by the sensor may validate that the evidence is responsive to a current request and belongs to a current session. In some implementations, trust may be established and/or enhanced due to one or more security features (e.g., anti-spoofing, anti-tampering, and/or other security features) being collocated with the sensor at the actual sampling site.
Abstract: An electronic display is provided for facilitating authentication. The display may integrate one or more of a camera, microphone, fingerprint sensor, card reader, touch screen, and communication interface to collect biometric and other identification information to authenticate a user requesting access to the display. An integrated proximity or motion sensor may be used to track presence of the user. The user may be required to re-authenticate his identity after an absence from the display. The display may be a standalone device or may cooperate with an external computing device. The display may be configured to verify its identity to the external computing device. The display may be configured to perform its own authentication and authorization procedures before presenting content from an external device.
