User authentication via image manipulation

摘要

Various systems and methods for authenticating users via image manipulation are described herein. An initial image associated with a stored profile of a user may be presented on a display device. Input including a manipulation of the initial image to transform the initial image to a manipulated initial image is received on an input device. The user is authenticated in response to the manipulated initial image sufficiently matching a target manipulated image associated with the stored profile of the user. Prior to presenting the initial image, a facial image of the user may be captured. The user is identified by applying a facial recognition technique to the captured facial image of the user. The display device is arranged to present the initial image in response to identifying the user as having a stored profile.

主权项

1. A computing device for authenticating a user, the computing device comprising:
a processor; a memory device; a network interface device; an image capture module arranged to:
capture a facial image of a user; andidentify the user via at least one facial recognition technique applied to the captured facial image of the user; a presentation module arranged to display, in response to a determination that the user has at least one stored profile, an initial image associated with a stored profile of the user; an input module arranged to receive input comprising at least one manipulation of the initial image to transform the initial image into a manipulated initial image; and a communication module stored in the memory device and executable by the processor to:
receive, from a server via the network interface device, data representing the initial image;send the data representing the initial image data to the presentation module;receive, from the input module, data representing the at least one image manipulation to transform the initial image into the manipulated initial image; andsend, to the server via the network interface device, the manipulated initial image to the server; wherein the user is authenticated in response to the manipulated initial image matching a target manipulated image associated with the stored profile of the user, and wherein the target manipulated image comprises the initial image manipulated by the at least one manipulation.
