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 associated with a user;
causing decomposition of the biometric data into one or more closure primitives that represent computation closures of one or more processes of the user equipment;
selectively authenticating the user based on the decomposition of the biometric data, wherein the authenticating comprises verifying semantic information;
retrieving media to provide to the user equipment as part of a challenge procedure, wherein the media includes textual information, an image, or a combination thereof;
determining to transmit the media to the user equipment to obtain a response to the challenge procedure, wherein the response includes the biometric data;
wherein the biometric data includes a voiceprint, an utterance, and the textual information includes one or more words;
verifying the voiceprint as part of the challenge procedure;
verifying the textual information based on the voiceprint as part of the challenge procedure; and
verifying the semantic information presented in the utterance as part of the challenge procedure.

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.

11. A method comprising:
-
receiving, at a user equipment, an input signal representing biometric data associated with a user; 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, and wherein the user is authenticated based on verifying semantic information; receiving a request for the biometric data as part of a challenge procedure, wherein the request specifies media that includes textual information, an image or a combination thereof; wherein the biometric data is provided as part of the message in response to the request specifying the media; wherein the input signal provides a voiceprint, an utterance, and the textual information includes one or more words; verifying the voiceprint as part of the challenge procedure; verifying the textual information based on the voiceprint as part of the challenge procedure; and verifying the semantic information presented in the utterance as part of the challenge procedure. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
