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. A mobile device comprising:

a system on chip (SoC) including a first core and a second core and further including a hardware logic separate from the first core and the second core, and a graphics processor;

a plurality of input devices; and

a storage coupled to the SoC, the storage to store a set of instructions which, if executed by the hardware logic, causes the hardware logic 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;

generating a first representation using the first biometric-based input;

storing the first representation in a storage location, the storage location secured by at least one key;

capturing a second biometric-based input of the user obtained from the one or more of the plurality of input devices;

generating a second representation using the second biometric-based input;

comparing the first representation with the second representation;

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

after authenticating the user in response to the first representation matching the second representation, automatically entering a password into a password field to gain access to a website accessible by the user with the password, the password stored in another storage location and obtained during a registration.

2. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the storage is further to store instructions which, if executed by the hardware logic, cause the hardware logic to register the first biometric-based input prior to the capture of the second biometric-based input.

3. The mobile device of claim 2, wherein the storage is further to store instructions which, if executed by the hardware logic, cause the hardware logic to associate the first biometric-based input with the web site and further associate the first biometric-based input with the username.

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

5. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the storage is further to store instructions which, if executed by the hardware logic, cause the hardware logic to obtain a plurality of first biometric-based inputs each associated with a given website.

6. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the storage is further to store instructions which, if executed by the hardware logic, cause the hardware logic to request the user to re-enter the second biometric-based input in response to the first representation not matching the second representation.

7. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the plurality of input devices comprises a touch screen and a microphone.

8. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the mobile device comprises a smart phone.

9. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the SoC further comprises at least one cache memory.

capturing a first glyph-based input of a user obtained from one or more of the plurality of input devices;

generating a first representation using the first glyph-based input;

storing the first representation in a storage location, the storage location secured by at least one key;

capturing a second glyph-based input of the user obtained from the one or more of the plurality of input devices;

generating a second representation using the second glyph-based input;

comparing the first representation with the second representation;

after authenticating the user in response to the first representation matching the second representation, automatically entering a password into a password field to gain access to a website accessible by the user with the password, the password stored in another storage location and obtained during a registration.

13. The mobile device of claim 12, wherein the storage is further to store instructions which, if executed by the hardware logic, cause the hardware logic to register the first glyph-based input prior to the capture of the second glyph-based input.

14. The mobile device of claim 12, wherein the storage is further to store instructions which, if executed by the mobile device, cause the mobile device to present a graphical user interface on a display of the mobile device to request input of the first glyph-based input.
