Abstract:
1. A method of verifying a user identity using a multimodal, Web-based interface comprising: receiving, from a remote computing device, a request for a multimodal markup language document for user authentication; providing a script to be read aloud by a user; sending, via a single data communication network connection to a remote computing device, a multimodal markup language document, comprising visual and voice components for use in user authentication and specifying the script, that, when rendered by the remote computing device, queries the user for a user identifier, displays the script within the remote computing device, and causes audio of the user's voice to be captured by the remote computing device and sent to a multimodal, Web-based application via the data communication network connection; receiving, under control of the multimodal markup language document, at about a same time, from the remote computing device via the data communication network connection, the user identifier and the audio; comparing the audio with a voice print and text of the script, wherein the voice print is associated with the user identifier; and selectively granting the user at the remote computing device access to an online system when the audio matches the voice print and the text of the script.
