Patent ID: 10460096

Abstract:
Systems (110) and methods (200) securely authenticate an identity of an individual based on a pattern (350) that is traced by the individual. Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to prompting (210) an individual with a pattern (350) to trace when attempting to authenticate the identity of the individual during an identity authentication session. Motion-based behavior data that is generated by motions executed by the individual as the individual traces the pattern (350) is captured (230) via a motion-capturing sensor (130). The motion-based behavior data is unique to the individual and has a low likelihood of being duplicated by an unauthorized individual attempting to fraudulently pose as the individual. The captured motion-based behavior data is compared (250) to previously captured motion-based behavior data from previous traces (360) of the pattern (350) completed by the individual. The identity of the individual is authenticated (260) when the motion-based behavior data is within a threshold of the previously captured motion-based behavior data.
