MOTION-BASED IDENTITY AUTHENTICATION OF AN INDIVIDUAL WITH A COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE

摘要

Systems (1 10) and methods (400) securely authenticate an identity of an individual based on a pattern that is traced by the individual. Embodiments relate to prompting (770) an individual with a pattern 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 is captured (740) 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 (780) to previously-captured motion-based behavior data from previous traces of the pattern completed by the individual. The identity of the individual is authenticated (730) when the motion-based behavior data is within a threshold of the previously captured motion-based behavior data.
