  • Patent number: 11720656
    Abstract: Described are various embodiments of a digital user authentication device, the device comprising: a user authentication interface operable to receive as input unique user identification data required to execute a digital user authentication process; a distinct physiological sensor operable to interface with the user to acquire a physiological signal from the user to automatically confirm a live user presence during said authentication process; and a digital data processor and computer-readable memory operable to execute computer-readable instructions to invoke said user authentication process based on said unique user identification data while confirming said live user presence based on said physiological signal such that a successful user authentication is only concluded upon confirmation of said live user presence during said authentication process. Various authentication, access authorization and revocation systems and processes are also described.

  • Publication number: 20220229895
    Abstract: Described are various embodiments of a digital user authentication device to authenticate an authorized user. The device comprises a wearable user authentication interface operable to receive unique user identification data and a finger physiological signal; an onbody physiological sensor operable to simultaneously acquire a distinct onbody physiological signal; and a digital data processor operable to execute a user authentication process based on the unique user identification data while confirming a user presence based on the finger physiological signal, and further digitally compare the finger physiological signal and the distinct onbody physiological signal to automatically confirm that they match within a designated level of confidence so to confirm that they were both acquired from a same user.

  • Patent number: 9472033
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards authenticating users using biometric devices. The biometric device may be arranged to capture one or more biometric feature of a user that may be wearing the biometric device such as biometric features that correspond to an electrocardiogram of the user. The user of the biometric device may be authenticated based on one or more biometric features, or a combination thereof. Authenticating the user of the biometric device, may include communicating information that includes biometric features to an authorized authentication device (AAD). When the user is authenticated, the biometric device may be preauthorized for the user. When the preauthorized biometric device senses at least one access point, an authorization signal may be provided to the access point. If the preauthorized biometric device is removed from the user, the biometric device is deauthorized, disabling access to access points by the user.
