  • Patent number: 11941096
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for identifying a user based on the classification of user characteristic data. An identity verification system receives a request from a requesting target user for access to an operational context and characteristic data describing actions of the requesting target user. The identity verification system inputs the characteristic data to an identity confidence model to determine an identity confidence value describes a likelihood that an identity of the requesting target user matches an authenticating identity and determines a false match rate and false non-match rate, which represent a performance of the identity confidence model. The identity verification system determines a match probability for the requesting target user by adjusting the identity confidence value based on the determined false match rate and false non-match rate and grants the requesting target user access to the operational context if match probability is greater than the operational security threshold.

  • Publication number: 20240062604
    Abstract: An intention detection mechanism detects a target user accessing an operational context and accesses sensor data collected by a plurality of sensors encoding signals describing one or more characteristics of the target user and surroundings of the target user. The intention detection mechanism converts the accessed sensor data into a multi-channel sensor data time series, where each channel represents a characteristic of the target user. The intention detection mechanism compares the sensor data time series to a multi-channel intentionality template to determine whether the sensor data time series contains the multi-channel intentionality template. The multi-channel intentionality template describes characteristics indicative of an intent of a target user accessing the operational context. If the sensor data time series contains the multi-channel intentionality template, the intention detection mechanism communicates a signal confirming that the target user intended to access to the operational context.

  • Patent number: 11861947
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for identifying a user based on the classification of user movement data. An identity verification system receives a sequence of motion data from a mobile device operated by a target user. From the sequences of motion data, the identity verification system identifies a plurality of identity blocks representing different movements performed by the target user and encodes a set of signature sequences from each identity block into a feature vector. Each feature vector is input to a confidence model to output an identity confidence value for an identity block. An identity confidence value describes a confidence that the movement in the identity block was performed by the target user. The identity confidence value is compared to an operational security threshold and if identity confidence value is above the threshold, the target user is granted access to an operational context.

  • Publication number: 20220382845
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for identifying a user based on the classification of user movement data. An identity verification system receives a sequence of motion data characterizing movements performed by a target user. The sequence of motion data is received as a point cloud of the motion data. The point cloud is input a machine-learned model trained based on manually labeled point clusters of a training set of motion data that each represent a movement. The machine-learned model identifies a movement represented by the point cloud of the motion data and assigns a label describing the movement the point cloud. The system generates a labeled representation of the sequence of motion data comprising the label identifying a portion of the sequence of motion data corresponding to the identified movement.

  • Publication number: 20220179982
    Abstract: An identity verification system receives a candidate signal transmitted from a computing device located near a secured asset in response to a target user requesting access to the secure asset. The identity verification system compares the candidate signal to a cluster of signals measured during past successful authentications by the computing device to determine a modulation factor and determines a match probability for the target user based on the determined modulation factor. The identity verification system grants the requesting target user access to the secured asset in response to determining that the match probability is greater than the operational security threshold.

  • Publication number: 20220182379
    Abstract: An identity verification system receives context signals from an authenticating computing device in response to a target user requesting access to a secure asset. The identity verification system identifies candidate locations for the operational context assigned to historical context signals labeled as being measured at a known location and compares the context signal to each historical signal to determine a location of the operational context corresponding to the received context signal. The identity verification system determines a match probability for the target user based on a risk score assigned to the location of the operational received context signal and grants the requesting target user access to the secured asset in response to determining that the match probability is greater than the operational security threshold.

  • Publication number: 20210248219
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for identifying a user based on the classification of characteristic data collected for that user. An identity verification system accesses characteristic data collected by a sensor for a plurality of users. When a user requests access to an operational context, the identity verification system inputs characteristic data collected for the user to an identity confidence model to generate an authentication result, indicating whether the user was granted access to the operational context. The identity verification system updates a false acceptance rate and a false rejection rate for the identity confidence model based the authentication result. Because the false acceptance rate and the false rejection rate for the identity confidence model characterize the performance of the identity confidence model, the identity verification system adjusts one or more parameters of the identity confidence model to improve reduce the false acceptance rate and the false rejection rate.
