Gesture-initiated encryption using error correction coding

摘要

Methods and systems for providing gesture-based security are disclosed. For example, a method for establishing secure communications can include receiving one or more human gestures using a sensor on a first device, quantizing the one or more human gestures so as to create a metric of the one or more human gestures, performing an error correction operation on the metric using error correction information derived from a template of the metric to create a corrected metric, performing a hashing operation on the corrected metric to create a metric hash, and comparing the metric hash to a hash of the template to verify that the one or more human gestures sufficiently conform to the template.

主权项

1. A method for establishing secure communications, comprising:
receiving one or more human gestures using a sensor on a first device; quantizing the one or more human gestures received from the sensor so as to create a metric of the one or more human gestures by quantizing circuitry; performing, by error correction circuitry, an error correction operation on the metric received from the quantizing circuitry using error correction information derived from a template of the metric to create a corrected metric, wherein the metric includes angular information between discrete locations of the one or more human gestures so as to make the one or more human gestures size invariant; creating a password based on the corrected metric to establish the secure communications; and communicating an error-coded metric to a second device.
