  • Publication number: 20240061919
    Abstract: Systems and methods for enrolling and authenticating a user in an authentication system via a camera of a computing device include capturing and storing biometric information from at least one first image and at least one second image of the user taken via the camera. Prior to use, the user answers personal questions and the answers are stored as stored answer data. Later, such as at a business, the questions are presented to the user and the user provides their personal answers via a computing device. The answers are processed and uploaded to an authentication server where a comparison occurs against the stored answer data. If a match does not occur, then the authentication/identity verification processes ends. If a match does occur, then the authentication process continues. The questions match may serve as a gate function for accessing authentication data stored in a blockchain.

  • Patent number: 11874910
    Abstract: Systems and methods for enrolling and authenticating a user in an authentication system via a user's camera of camera equipped mobile device include capturing and storing enrollment biometric information from at least one first image of the user taken via the camera of the mobile device, capturing authentication biometric information from at least one second image of the user, capturing, during imaging of the at least one second image, path parameters via at least one movement detecting sensor indicating an authentication movement of the mobile device, comparing the authentication biometric information to the stored enrollment biometric information, and comparing the authentication movement of the mobile device to an expected movement of the mobile device to determine whether the authentication movement sufficiently corresponds to the expected movement.

  • Publication number: 20230394127
    Abstract: Systems and methods for authenticating a user in an authentication system using a computing device configured to capture authentication biometric identity information. The authentication biometric identify information captured during an authentication session. The authentication biometric identify information may comprise or be derived from one or more images of the user being authenticated. The authentication biometric identify information is compared to root identify biometric information. The root identify biometric information is captured from a trusted source, such as trusted devices located at trusted locations, such as a government entity, financial institution, or business. Identity verification may occur by comparing the trusted root identify biometric information to the biometric identify information captured during an authentication session. Liveness determination may also occur to verify the user is a live person.

  • Publication number: 20230073410
    Abstract: A method for detecting video feed injection during an authentication session comprising initiating an authentication session which utilizes a video feed from a camera, the camera part of a computing device that is used to capture video of a user during the authentication session. Next, activating the camera to obtain a video feed, monitoring for the requested video feed, and receiving a video feed. Detecting a time delay between activating the camera and to receiving the video feed. Comparing the time delay to an expected delay or range of expected delay, and, if the time delay does not match an expected delay or range of expected delay, terminating the authentication session. Optionally providing a notification that the time delay did not match the expected delay, range of expected delay, or both. The number of times this method occurs may be repeated a random number of times.

  • Publication number: 20230031087
    Abstract: A node server for autonomously authenticating a user is disclosed that comprises a node database for storing authentication data associated with the user and an authentication SDK configured to perform authentication using data from the node database. The node server also includes a node API for creating and maintaining the node server and for routing payment to a cloud service that is hosting the node server. A communication interface is configured to process communication with a user device, such that the user device is executing software associated with a user account. An access module is configured to permanently and irrevocably prevent access from external servers or devices not associated with a user account, after creation and activation of the node server.

  • Patent number: 11562055
    Abstract: A system for remote identity verification including a computing device configured to capture a first image of the user a first distance and capture a second image at a second distance and then processing the images to create one or more facemaps. The facemaps are processed to verify that the images were captured from a live person. If the facemaps represents a live person, the facemaps and a user identifying code are sent to a trusted image server. The rusted image server configured to, using the user ID code, retrieve a trusted image from a database and generate a trusted image facemaps. Then, compare captured image facemaps to the trusted image facemaps. Responsive to a match between the captured image facemaps and the trusted image facemaps, send a message to the computing device, a third-party server, or both providing notice of the match.

  • Publication number: 20220147605
    Abstract: A method for generating a digital ID comprising capturing one or more user images of user's face, transmitting the one or more user images or data derived therefrom to a verification server and determining if the one or more images represent a live person. Capturing an ID image of a photo identification for the user and transmitting the ID image to the verification sever. Comparing at least one of the one or more user images or data derived therefrom to the image of the user on the photo identification to determine if user in the one or more user images is the same person as the image on the photo identification. Responsive to a match from the comparing and a determination that a live person was captured in the one or more user images, generating a user digital ID and transmitting the user digital ID to the user.
