1. A system for phalangeal authentication, wherein the system provides a phalangeal authentication device configured for capture, customization and transformation of one or more phalangeal credentials of a user, comprising:

  • a phalangeal authentication device comprising;

    a tactile interface screen configured to receive phalangeal credentials;

    one or more phalangeal credential sensor devices configured for capture and imaging of the phalangeal credentials, the one or more phalangeal credential sensor devices comprising optical sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and capacitance sensors; and

    an image capture device;

    a transaction terminal associated with the phalangeal authentication device, the transaction terminal comprising;

    a user interface device for establishing audiovisual communication with the user;

    a computer apparatus including at least one processor, at least one memory device, and a network communication device; and

    an authentication module stored in the at least one memory device comprising computer readable instructions, that when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to;

    establish, via a network, an operative communication channel with the transaction terminal, the transaction terminal being associated with the one or more phalangeal credential sensor devices;

    receive, via the operative communication channel, an indication of initiation of a user activity at the transaction terminal;

    capture, using the one or more phalangeal credential sensor devices, one or more phalangeal credentials of the user, wherein the one or more phalangeal credentials are captured from phalanges of the user positioned at the tactile interface screen;

    analyze the one or more phalangeal credentials to identify the user;

    determine one or more phalangeal parameters associated with the one or more phalangeal credentials, wherein determining the one or more phalangeal parameters comprises at least one of determining a sequence and timing of a tapping pattern of the phalanges of the user, determining positioning the phalanges of the user, determining orientation of the phalanges of the user, determining physical pressure applied by the phalanges of the user, and identifying one or more predetermined phalanges of the user;

    validate the one or more phalangeal credentials and the one or more phalangeal parameters;

    analyze the one or more phalangeal parameters to determine at least one user activity associated with the one or more phalangeal parameters, wherein determining the at least one user activity comprises determining that the combination of the one or more phalangeal credentials and the one or more phalangeal parameters comprise a predetermined authentication level associated with the at least one user activity; and

    transmit, via the operative communication channel, control instructions that cause the transaction terminal to implement the at least one user activity.
