Abstract

Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to systems, methods, devices, and machine-readable mediums for implementing gesture-based signature authentication. In one embodiment, a method may involve recording a first gesture-based signature and storing the recorded first gesture-based signature. Then the method compares the first gesture-based signature with a second gesture-based signature. Then the method verifies the first gesture-based signature as authentic when the first gesture-based signature is substantially similar to the second gesture-based signature.

Claims

1. An article of manufacture comprising at least one non-transitory machine-readable medium having stored thereon instructions, which when executed by a mobile computing device cause the mobile computing device to:

capture a first biometric-based input of a user obtained from at least one input device of the mobile computing device, the first biometric-based input comprising audio information of a phrase spoken by the user, the at least one input device comprising a microphone;

compare first data corresponding to the first biometric-based input with second data corresponding to a second biometric-based input in a first storage location of the mobile computing device, the second biometric-based input associated with a username and a password of the user for a website, wherein the password comprises a text-based password in another storage location of the mobile computing device;

authenticate the user in response to the first data matching the second data; and

after authentication of the user in response to the first data matching the second data, automatically enter the password into a password field to gain access to the website.

2. The article of claim 1, wherein the article further comprises instructions stored thereon, which if executed by the mobile computing device cause the mobile computing device to register the second biometric-based input prior to the capture of the first biometric-based input.

3. The article of claim 2, wherein the article further comprises instructions stored thereon, which if executed by the mobile computing device cause the mobile computing device to:

associate the second biometric-based input with the website; and

further associate the second biometric-based input with the username.

4. The article of claim 1, wherein the article further comprises instructions stored thereon, which if executed by the mobile computing device cause the mobile computing device to present a graphical user interface on a display of the mobile computing device to request input of the first biometric-based input.

5. The article of claim 1, wherein the article further comprises instructions stored thereon, which if executed by the mobile computing device cause the mobile computing device to provide the password in response to a password request if the first biometric-based input has been verified as authentic.

6. The article of claim 1, wherein the first biometric-based input further includes at least one of a touch screen glyph and a movement in three dimensional space.

7. The article of claim 1, wherein the article further comprises instructions stored thereon, which if executed by the mobile computing device cause the mobile computing device to secure the second biometric-based input via a security measure.

8. The article of claim 7, wherein the security measure comprises at least one of a key technique and a hash technique.

9. The article of claim 1, wherein the article further comprises instructions stored thereon, which if executed by the mobile computing device cause the mobile computing device to capture the first biometric-based input during an authentication procedure, and obtain the second biometric-based input during a registration procedure.

10. The article of claim 1, wherein the article further comprises instructions stored thereon, which if executed by the mobile computing device cause the mobile computing device to obtain a plurality of second biometric-based inputs each associated with a given application or website.

11. The article of claim 1, wherein the article further comprises instructions stored thereon, which if executed by the mobile computing device cause the mobile computing device to request the user to re-enter the first biometric-based input in response to the first data not matching the second data.

12. A system comprising:

a system on chip (SoC);

a plurality of input devices comprising a touch screen and a microphone;

a memory coupled to the SoC; and

a storage coupled to the SoC, the storage to store a set of instructions, which if executed by the SoC causes the SoC to perform a method comprising;

capturing a first biometric-based input of a user obtained from one or more of the plurality of input devices, the first biometric-based input comprising audio information of a phrase spoken by the user;

comparing first data corresponding to the first biometric-based input with second data corresponding to a second biometric-based input in a first storage location of the system, the second biometric-based input associated with a username and a password for a website, the password stored in another storage location of the system and obtained during a registration;

authenticating the user in response to the first data matching the second data; and

after authenticating the user in response to the first data matching the second data, automatically entering the password into a password field to gain access to the web site.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the storage is to further store instructions, which if executed by the SoC cause the SoC to register the second biometric-based input prior to the capture of the first biometric-based input, and associate the second biometric-based input with the website and the username.

14. The system of claim 12, wherein the SoC comprises a plurality of cores.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein the SoC further comprises a graphics subsystem.

16. The system of claim 14, wherein the SoC further comprises an uncore circuitry, the uncore circuitry to verify the user.

17. The system of claim 12, wherein the system comprises a smart phone.

18. A method comprising:

capturing a first biometric-based input of a user obtained from an input device of a mobile computing device, the first biometric-based input comprising audio information of a phrase spoken by the user, the input device comprising a microphone;

comparing first data corresponding to the first biometric-based input with second data corresponding to a second biometric-based input in a first storage location of the mobile computing device, the second biometric-based input associated with a username and a password of the user for a website, wherein the password comprises a text-based password in another storage location of the mobile computing device;

authenticating the user in response to the first data matching the second data; and

after authenticating the user in response to the first data matching the second data, automatically entering the password into a password field to gain access to the website.

19. The method of claim 18, further comprising registering the second biometric-based input prior to capturing the first biometric-based input.

20. The method of claim 19, further comprising associating the second biometric-based input with the website and the username.
