  • Patent number: 8321684
    Abstract: Digital process for authentication of a user of a telecommunications or data network for access to protected data or a service reserved for a defined circle of users or for the use of data currently entered by the user, wherein a voice sample currently enunciated during an access attempt by the user on a telecommunications or VoIP terminal device is routed to a voice analysis unit and, herein, a current voice profile is computed and this is compared in a voice profile comparison unit against a previously stored initial voice profile and, in response to a positive comparison result, the user is authenticated and a first control signal enabling access, but in response to a negative comparison result a second control signal disabling access or triggering a substitute authentication procedure is generated.

  • Patent number: 8161291
    Abstract: A process for authenticating a user to control remote access to a service, data base or data network is provided, in which during an enrollment step, an initial voice sample provided by the user is analyzed to obtain an initial user-specific voice profile and, in a later verification step, a current voice sample of the user is analyzed and compared to the initial voice profile to generate an access control signal. An additional user-dedicated authentication is generated in a pre-enrollment period, and the additional authentication is used to authenticate the user in the enrollment step and/or in an access control step prior to and independent on the enrollment step, in a provisional or supplementary authentication procedure.

  • Publication number: 20120066128
    Abstract: Method for communicating data using a public mobile telecommunications or data network, to grant a remote user access to a safe financial transaction service, the method comprising inputting a voice sample of a user requesting access to the service at a mobile terminal, transmitting the voice sample data to a remote voice authorization server, which is directly linked to a transaction processing server governing a debitable and creditable user account, analyzing the voice sample data at the voice authorization server vis-a-vis pre-stored voice profile data, and outputting an access control signal granting or rejecting the request access, in response to the result of the analysis, to the transaction processing server.

  • Patent number: 8103501
    Abstract: The invention refers to a process and an arrangement for the generation of a signed text and/or image document, in particular a digital document for electronic sending and/or for electronic storage. The invention is characterized by the fact that the name and/or an image and/or any other representation of a person, for example a person code, is attached to the basic document in combination with an authentication certificate, wherein the authentication certificate is generated as the result of a voice analysis of the person performed in relation with generation of the document in terms of timing.

  • Patent number: 8090410
    Abstract: Voice recording used for authentication is transmitted to the voice portal of the service provider not by way of the voice channel, but rather by way of a data channel. In this connection, the voice recording is sent not synchronous to speech and subject to loss, but rather asynchronously and loss-free, in an extra data package (for example advantageously as a Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) data package). For this purpose, the resources that are available as standard items in most mobile phone terminals, such as digital voice recording and MMS transmission, can be utilized. Preferably, the subscriber's identification module or SIM card in the mobile phone terminal can store and implement the corresponding control program.
