Abstract: A method of capturing and storing a plurality of biometric data by a user on a device for a future authentication request is presented. The method includes receiving a first input from a user, through a user input mechanism of the device. The first input comprises a first portion of biometric data. The method also comprises receiving a second input from a user, through the user input mechanism. The second portion comprises a second portion of biometric data. The method also comprises storing the first and second inputs from the user in a biometric data memory portion of a memory of the mobile device. Each input is stored in the memory along with a time stamp assigned by a processor of the device. Each received input is stored such that, upon receiving an authentication request, each input is retrievable by the processor, from the memory based on a recency of the time stamp, such that the most recent input is retrieved first.

Abstract: A method for authenticating a user on a device is provided. The method comprises receiving an authentication request. The method also comprises checking a memory cache for available biometric data. The method also comprises retrieving the available biometric data from the memory cache. Retrieving available biometric data comprises retrieving a plurality of biometric data portions. The portions are retrieved such that a first biometric data portion is retrieved before a second biometric data portion. The second biometric data portion was captured before the first biometric data portion. Retrieving available biometric data also comprises determining whether each of the plurality of biometric data portion comprises verified biometric data. The method also comprises comparing the retrieved biometric data portions to an enrollment template and, upon determining that the retrieved biometric data portions matches the enrollment template, indicating that an authentication is complete.

Abstract: A system for capturing fingerprint data is provided. The system comprises a sensor configured to capture fingerprint data, wherein the sensor is configured to capture fingerprint data as either a touch input or a swipe input. The system also comprises a controller that, upon receiving a request from a requesting entity for a fingerprint data sample, configured to communicate that request to the sensor and convey the captured fingerprint data to the requesting entity.

Abstract: A method for authenticating a user on a device is provided. In one embodiment, a method for authenticating a user on a device comprises receiving an authentication request. The method may also comprise checking a memory cache for available biometric data. The method may also comprise retrieving the available biometric data from the memory cache. Retrieving available biometric data may comprise, in one embodiment retrieving available biometric data in reverse order based on a time stamp associated with the available biometric data such that the most recent biometric data is pulled first. Retrieving available biometric data may also comprise determining whether each portion of retrieved biometric data comprises verified or non-verified biometric data. The method may also comprise comparing the retrieved biometric data to an enrollment template and, upon determining that the retrieved biometric data matches the enrollment template, indicating that an authentication is complete.

Abstract: Systems and methods for regulating user access in the context of a biometric security system are disclosed. One method disclosed includes receiving a remotely transmitted data packet containing an encryption key, utilizing a decryption component to decrypt the data packet, and utilizing the encryption component to encrypt biometric data. Another method disclosed includes utilizing a processor, within a client computing device, to perform an encryption function within a biometric security system, wherein the encryption function is incorporated into an authentication process that involves a transfer of biometric information between the client computing device and a remotely implemented server.

Abstract: A biometric security system is disclosed. The system includes a client security system configured to make a request for access to an application module. The application module is configured to receive the request and respond by sending an instruction to the authentication module to initiate an authentication session. The authentication module is configured to receive the instruction and respond by generating a session packet that is transferred to the client security system. The client security system is further configured to generate an authorization packet that is returned to the authentication module after being encrypted utilizing information contained in the session packet.
