Selectively enabling and disabling biometric authentication based on mobile device state information
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- at a computing platform comprising at least one processor, memory, and a communication interface;
receiving, by the at least one processor, via the communication interface, from a device monitoring and management computer system, a device state indicator message comprising device state information associated with a mobile computing device, wherein the device state information associated with the mobile computing device comprises information indicating that the mobile computing device has been jailbroken or rooted;
setting, by the at least one processor, a biometric authentication flag for the mobile computing device based on the device state indicator message received from the device monitoring and management computer system;
generating, by the at least one processor, an authentication functionality message for the mobile computing device based on the biometric authentication flag set for the mobile computing device, wherein the authentication functionality message selectively disables a biometric authentication function of a mobile banking application executed on the mobile computing device based on the information indicating that the mobile computing device has been jailbroken or rooted, wherein the biometric authentication function of the mobile banking application is used when authenticating with the computing platform to access mobile banking information maintained by a financial institution operating the computing platform; and
sending, by the at least one processor, via the communication interface, to the mobile computing device, the authentication functionality message generated for the mobile computing device, wherein sending the authentication functionality message generated for the mobile computing device to the mobile computing device causes the mobile computing device to disable the biometric authentication function of the mobile banking application executed on the mobile computing device.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for selectively enabling and disabling biometric authentication are presented. In some embodiments, a computing platform may receive, from a device monitoring and management computer system, a device state indicator message comprising device state information associated with a mobile computing device. Subsequently, the computing platform may set a biometric authentication flag for the mobile computing device based on the device state indicator message received from the device monitoring and management computer system. Then, the computing platform may generate an authentication functionality message for the mobile computing device based on the biometric authentication flag set for the mobile computing device, and the authentication functionality message may be configured to selectively enable or disable one or more biometric authentication functions provided by the mobile computing device. Thereafter, the computing platform may send, to the mobile computing device, the authentication functionality message generated for the mobile computing device.

16. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by a computing platform comprising at least one processor, memory, and a communication interface, cause the computing platform to:
-
receive, via the communication interface, from a device monitoring and management computer system, a device state indicator message comprising device state information associated with a mobile computing device, wherein the device state information associated with the mobile computing device comprises information indicating that the mobile computing device has been jailbroken or rooted; set a biometric authentication flag for the mobile computing device based on the device state indicator message received from the device monitoring and management computer system; generate an authentication functionality message for the mobile computing device based on the biometric authentication flag set for the mobile computing device, wherein the authentication functionality message selectively disables a biometric authentication function of a mobile banking application executed on the mobile computing device based on the information indicating that the mobile computing device has been jailbroken or rooted, wherein the biometric authentication function of the mobile banking application is used when authenticating with the computing platform to access mobile banking information maintained by a financial institution operating the computing platform; and send, via the communication interface, to the mobile computing device, the authentication functionality message generated for the mobile computing device, wherein sending the authentication functionality message generated for the mobile computing device to the mobile computing device causes the mobile computing device to disable the biometric authentication function of the mobile banking application executed on the mobile computing device. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
