Abstract: Systems and Method are provided for transferring authentication from an extended reality (“XR”) device. The systems and method may include the XR device comprising a sensor, and a computing device in electronic communication with the sensor. The sensor may collect biometric information from a user. The computing device may assign a first authentication level based on the biometric information. The user may be prompted to sign or virtually sign a document. The sensor may record a video recording of the user signing the document. The computing device may create a digital file from the video recording and a token indicating the first authentication level and the biometric information. The computing device may embed the token into the digital file. The digital file with the embedded token may be transferred to a second party.

The processor may, in a pre-approval stage: mint an identity block for each approver included in a plurality of approvers, upload each identity block to the blockchain and assign a non-fungible token to each approver. The processor may, in an approval stage: receive a file for approval; label the file with a file identifier; identify a subset of approvers for file approval; mint an approval block including the file identifier and an entry slot for each non-fungible token associated with each approver included include in the subset; initiate an approval process by the subset of approvers; receive the non-fungible token that identifies the approver; place each received token within an entry slot of the approval block; upload the approval block to a blockchain; validate the approval block and close the approval block.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for continuous real-time authentication are provided. The apparatus and methods may include using a biometric sensor on an Internet-of-things (“IoT”) device to measure a biometric attribute of a user. The measured biometric attribute may be transmitted to a server to compare to a stored biometric attribute and authenticate the user. The IoT device may continue to measure the biometric attribute of the user at a pre-determined interval. Each measurement may be used to authenticate the user. This continuous authentication process may take place without the user's conscious interaction with the IoT device. The apparatus and methods may include using the continuous authentication to process and approve a transaction the user requests.

Abstract: A computer program product and method for a user to obtain an authentication to an account with a first user device and transfer the obtained authentication to a second user device. The first user device may be a wearable device, such as an XR device like smart glasses, and the second user device may be a smart card, or vice versa. The authentication transfer may enable both devices to be used by the user to access the same account simultaneously. The authentication transfer may also enable the transfer of a stronger authentication that may be obtained on a first user device (e.g., biometric indicia) to a second user device that does not have a capability to obtain the stronger authentication. This may provide the second user device with account access that may otherwise not be available to the second user device or to greater access to the account.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for dual authentication through a mobile device are provided. The apparatus and methods may include a device with two or more authentication sensors and a dual-authentication engine. When a request to authenticate a user is received, the user may use two or more of the authentication sensors within a short pre-determined time period. The results of the user's use of the sensors may be analyzed by the dual-authentication engine. When the results satisfy one or more authentication criteria, the dual-authentication engine may authenticate the user.

Abstract: A system is provided for dynamic, secure, real-time, symmetrical data streaming using an application portal. The system may include a receiver and router, a plurality of short-term servers, a mid-term database, a K-nearest neighbor number identifier, and an application portal. The receiver and router, via the application portal, may receive a request to stream a data element from a source location to an end location. The receiver and router may retrieve the requested data element from one of the short-term servers, the mid-term database, and/or the source location. Once the data element is retrieved, the data element may be indexed by the K-nearest neighbor number identifier. The application portal may tag the data element with an application number. Based on the application number, a short-term server may be selected. The data element may be forwarded to the selected short-term servers. The short-term storage, via the application portal, may stream the data element to the end location.
