A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11916906B2) discloses a system that includes a server system with an identity authentication tool designed to authenticate user identities. The tool receives identity information over a network, user information, an electronic signature representation, and a private information authentication indicator. It then determines if the user information matches stored data and if the private information was previously verified. Based on these determinations, the tool transmits either a failed or verified authentication indication. The system also includes provisions for computer fingerprint attributes and private information like biometrics data such as fingerprints, facial recognition, and voice recognition.

Furthermore, the system has mechanisms to handle private information verification, time limits for authentication, and private information type indicators. If the private information is not verified within the set time limit, the tool indicates suspicious activity. The patent also includes a trust score to represent the accuracy of user identity verification. Another aspect of the system involves multiple server systems with similar authentication tools, emphasizing the importance of private information verification and user identity matching. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive system for secure and reliable user identity authentication, incorporating various factors like biometrics and computer attributes to ensure robust verification processes.
