Abstract: System and methods for authenticating a user requesting access to a secure system. An example system includes an access point, an authentication data gathering point, a comparison point, and an output of whether a user should be granted or denied access. Authentication data includes behavioral and biometric data collected from a user.

Abstract: A process for granting or denying a user access to a system using biometrics is disclosed. The process includes receiving a unique identifier for the system, receiving a unique identifier associated with the user, and verifying that the user is authorized to access the system. A passcode is transmitted to the device in the possession of the user, and a speech sample of the user speaking the passcode is returned. One or more attributes of the speech sample is compared with one or more attributes that are expected to be in a speech sample. Access is granted or denied based upon a correlation between the file's actual attributes and the predicted attributes.
