Application: Privacy preserving authentication augmented with physical biometric proof (Patent ID: US20240205013A1)
The patent filed by IBM describes a computer-implemented method for privacy-preserving authentication using physical biometric proof. The method involves an integrated smart entity with a visual indicator of a physical entity and a persistent memory storing picture identifier data, which are physically inseparable. By comparing the visual indicator with a related feature of the physical entity, receiving an output value of a function with the picture identifier data and a verifiable credential, and confirming the credential based on a matching predicate, secure authentication is achieved.
The patent further details the issuance of the integrated smart entity and verifiable credential by trusted authorities, the use of a signature scheme for efficient proof of knowledge, and the involvement of holder units (e.g., smartphones) and verifier units in the authentication process. The system includes components such as a comparing device, scanner module, receiver, and determination unit to facilitate the authentication process. Overall, the method and system outlined in the patent aim to enhance privacy and security in authentication processes by combining physical biometric proof with digital verification techniques.
