Abstract: Systems, methods, and software products provide increased trust in authentication of a user to an authentication server when a trusted witness client device witnesses the authentication of the user on the user's root client device. Both the root and the witness client devices cooperate to present the user with an interactive task during the authentications and each client device independently captures movement of the user performing the interactive task, during which, the user is authenticated to the root client device. An increased level of trust in the authentication of the user is achieved by the authentication server when the captured movements match expected movements of the user performing the interactive task and the authentication server has proof that the witness client devices witnessed a successful authentication.

Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure relate to a biometric sensing device that combines sensing with an actuator for two way communication between a finger on a surface and the device. The sensor can also function as an actuator. A finger can be authenticated based on an image of the finger generated by the sensor and also based on a response to energy delivered to the finger by the actuator. Two way communication can provide more robust authentication than fingerprint sensing alone.

Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure relate to a biometric sensing device that includes a sensing device and an integrated optical system for authentication. For instance, the sensing device can be an ultrasonic sensing device that can generate an image of a fingerprint and the optical system can transmit light to a finger through the ultrasonic scanning device. In some instances, the acoustic biometric sensing device can generate a liveness parameter associated with a finger based on a reflection of the light.
