SYSTEM FOR CORRELATION OF INDEPENDENT AUTHENTICATION MECHANISMS

摘要

Described are devices, methods and non-transitory computer readable media for implementing an enhanced multi-factor authentication system. The system uses three user identifiers, and after a first user identifier is verified, the system receives a second user identifier from the user. As the second user identifier is being received, the system automatically detects a third user identifier and verifies simultaneously the second and third user identifiers. The second and third user identifiers are correlated with each other, and the correlation of these two identifiers (e.g., in addition to the identifiers themselves) is also verified.

主权项

1. A method for authenticating a user on an electronic device, the method comprising:
receiving an input of a first user identifier; verifying the first user identifier for the device; after the first user identifier is verified for the device, requesting an input of a second user identifier that is distinct from the first user identifier; receiving the input of the second user identifier, wherein as the input of the second user identifier is received, the device detects a third user identifier that is distinct from the first and second user identifiers; and verifying simultaneously the second user identifier and the third user identifier.
