Patent Images
1. A method of authentication, comprising:
- receiving, at an authentication server, a spoken response to a challenge issued between parties of an email communication;
retrieving, by the authentication server, a textual representation of N integer words contained within the spoken response;
querying, by the authentication server, an electronic database for the textual representation of the N integer words contained within the spoken response, the electronic database storing different electronic email messages previously exchanged between both of the parties;
receiving, by the authentication server, a confirmation that the textual representation of the N integer words matches at least a portion of one of the different electronic email messages previously exchanged between the parties; and
sending, from the authentication server, an authentication message to the parties of the email communication, the authentication message confirming identities associated with the parties of the email communication.

Abstract
A biometric authentication system is disclosed that provides authentication capability using biometric data in connection with a challenge for parties engaging in digital communications such as digital text-oriented, interactive digital communications. End-user systems may be coupled to devices that include biometric data capture devices such as retina scanners, fingerprint recorders, cameras, microphones, ear scanners, DNA profilers, etc., so that biometric data of a communicating party may be captured and used for authentication purposes.
