  • Electronic verification systems and methods
    Patent number: 11283605
    Abstract: A session user enters session user credential the session user credentials that are compared with stored user credentials to validate the session user credentials. The session user identifies a selected communications method from the at least one communications method presented to the session user, and an authentication message is sent to the session user using the selected communications method. The session user enters a handwritten session signature in response to the authentication message. The handwritten session signature entered by the session user is compared with the reference signature associated with the session user to validate the handwritten session signature. If the handwritten session signature is validated, the session user is authenticated. If the session user has been validated, the session user is allowed to access a set of user information that is associated with the session user and stored on the partner server.

  • Systems and methods for authenticating users of a computer system
    Patent number: 10791104
    Abstract: An authentication system for allowing access to a user account server has at least one access device and at least one verification server. The at least one access device is capable of operatively connecting to the user account server and comprises a touch screen for allowing entry of session signatures. The at least one verification server is capable of comparing session signatures to reference signatures. A user reference signature is stored on the at least one verification server. The at least one access device allows entry of a user session signature and transmission of the user session signature to the at least one verification server. The at least one verification server allows the at least one user to connect to the user account server based on a comparison of the user session signature with the user reference signature.
