METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING BIOMETRIC AUTHENTICATION USING DISTRIBUTED COMPUTATIONS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- determining biometric data from a user equipment having an associated user;
causing, at least in part, decomposition of the biometric data into one or more closure primitives that represent computation closures of one or more processes of the user equipment; and
selectively authenticating the user based on the decomposition of the biometric data.

Abstract
An approach is provided for performing biometric authentication. A determination is made of biometric data from a user equipment having an associated user. Decomposition of the biometric data is caused into one or more closure primitives that represent computation closures of one or more processes of the user equipment. The user is selectively authenticated based on the decomposition of the biometric data.

15. A method comprising:
-
receiving, at a user equipment, an input signal representing biometric data associated with a user; and generating a message including the biometric data for transmission to an authentication service, the biometric data being decomposed into one or more closure primitives that represent computation closures of one or more processes of the user equipment, wherein the user is authenticated based on the decomposition of the biometric data. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
