Abstract

In systems and methods of generating an authenticated document biosignature, a processor of a verification device may calculate a base verification score associated with a user based on at least one identification input, the identification input comprising one or more identification features, a feature validity rating of each identification feature, a source where the one or more identification feature are received, and a source validity rating, wherein at least one of the identification features includes a biometric identification feature. The processor of the verification device may generate a glyph based on the base verification score and the identification input. The glyph may be associated with a document, and may be used to verify the identity of the user associated with the glyph.
