Patent number: 11811936Abstract: A device, method, and computer readable storage medium generate a biometric public key for an individual based on both the individual's biometric data and a secret, in a manner that verifiably characterizes both while tending to prevent recovery of either by anyone other than the individual. The biometric public key may be later used to authenticate a subject purporting to be the individual, using a computing facility that need not rely on a hardware root of trust. Such biometric public keys may be distributed without compromising the individual's biometric data, and may be used to provide authentication in addition to, or in lieu of, passwords or cryptographic tokens. Various use cases are disclosed, including: enrollment, authentication, establishing and using a secure communications channel, and cryptographically signing a message.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2020Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Badge Inc.Inventors: Charles H. Herder, III, Tina P. Srivastava

Patent number: 11804959Abstract: A device, method, and computer readable storage medium generate a biometric public key for an individual based on both the individual's biometric data and a secret, in a manner that verifiably characterizes both while tending to prevent recovery of either by anyone other than the individual. The biometric public key may be later used to authenticate a subject purporting to be the individual, using a computing facility that need not rely on a hardware root of trust. Such biometric public keys may be distributed without compromising the individual's biometric data. In operation, a confident subset of a set of biometric values of the subject is extracted, including by performing a transform of the set of biometric values. The transform may variously be a Gabor transform, a wavelet transform, processing by a machine learning system, etc.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2021Date of Patent: October 31, 2023Assignee: Badge Inc.Inventors: Charles H.

Patent number: 11799642Abstract: A device generates a biometric public key for an individual based on both the individual's biometric data and a secret S, in a manner that verifiably characterizes both while tending to prevent recovery of either. The biometric data has a Sparse Representation and is encoded in a manner to include a component of noise, such that it is challenging to identify which locations are actually encoded features. Accordingly, the biometric data are encoded as a vector by choosing marker at locations where features are present and, where features are not present, choosing noisy data. The noisy data may be chaff bit values selected collectively from a group of (a) random values and (b) independent and identically distributed values. The biometric public key may be later used to authenticate a subject purporting to be the individual, using a computing facility that need not rely on a hardware root of trust.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2022Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Badge Inc.Inventors: Charles H.

Publication number: 20230259601Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to a method for authenticating a user in a digital or physical environment. The method includes receiving an identity verification request based on input provided by a user to be verified, receiving a facial and audio recognition sample from the user, transmitting the facial and audio recognition sample to one or more third party entities with a request to verify that the facial and audio recognition sample represents the user, receiving an indication from at least one of the third party entities that the user is verified, and verifying that the user who provided the facial and audio recognition sample is the person the user purports to be.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2023Publication date: August 17, 2023Applicant: The Boogie Badge, Inc.Inventor: Robert Andersen

Publication number: 20220261464Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to a system for authenticating a user in a digital or physical environment. The system includes an electronic device associated with the user and receiving verification information from the user. The system further includes a server computer, connected to the electronic device, the server computer including the verification information about the user. The electronic device receives the verification information about the user and provides it to the server computer for comparison. The server computer verifies the user based on the verification information about the user received from the electronic device.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2022Publication date: August 18, 2022Applicant: The Boogie Badge, Inc.Inventor: Robert Andersen
