To perform personal authentication using an image without registering a camera image, the present invention provides a processing apparatus 10 including: an acquisition unit 11 that acquires collation information including a camera image being an image of a collation-target person generated by a camera, or an image being restored from the camera image and representing a three-dimensional shape of a person; a collation unit 12 that collates the collation information with reference person information including an image being restored from a camera image and representing a three-dimensional shape of each of a plurality of reference persons; and an output unit 13 that executes processing depending on a result of the collation.

The present disclosure relates to secure storage of a detailed set of elements relating to fingerprint features for a finger and to a method for authenticating a candidate fingerprint of a finger using said detailed set of elements, allowing for improved security and user convenience.

A system receives a source and a metadata layer that describes the source. The source may comprise source records with fields containing source data, and the metadata layer may include metadata comprising at least one of a field data type, a field data length, a field description, or a record length. The processor may further validate the metadata layer against the source and write results to a log. The processor may further be configured for transforming the source records into transformed records for a load ready file. The processor may further balance a number of records in the source against a number of transformed records in the load ready file to generate a transformation failure rate.

A fingerprint sensing system. The fingerprint sensing system includes: at least one sensor; at least one display device; at least one application processor; and at least one secure enclave processor. The application processor(s) receives fingerprint data from the sensor(s) and provides the fingerprint data to the secure enclave processor(s). The secure enclave processor(s) decodes the fingerprint data and provides a signal indicative of at least one matched node. The application processor(s), responsive to receipt of the signal indicative of the matched node(s), presents at least a portion of a synthetic fingerprint image via at least one display device corresponding to the matched node(s).

Provided is a process that includes: receiving, with a first device, a request to authenticate a user; obtaining, with the first device, an unstructured-data authentication input; extracting, with the first computing device, a plurality of features of the unstructured-data authentication input to form a structured-data representation; determining, with the first device, a first instance of a value that deterministically varies; and determining, with the first device, a first encrypted value based on both the structured-data representation and the first instance of the value that deterministically varies; and sending, with the first device, the first encrypted value to a second computing device.

A system includes a camera and a computing device. The computing device receives images captured by the camera and generates a face signature for a person in the images. Significant features are identified in the face signature. And a subset of those significant features are selected and used to generate a binary cryptographic key for the person.

In one aspect, a system for implementing image privacy includes an image recording device configured to generate image data. The system include a computing device in communication with the image recording device. The computing device is configured to detect a face of the image data using a facial recognition process. The computing device is configured to receive user authorization of a data process of the face, wherein the user authorization is unique to an identity of the face. The computing device is configured to communicate data of the face to another computing device as a function of the user authorization.

The present invention provides a method for digitally signing an electronic message in a secure, privacy-preserving, and device-free manner by presenting a biometric probe to a computer terminal, where the biometric probe never leaves the terminal, and any data leaving the terminal cannot reveal the presented biometric characteristics. The user's biometric sample is converted into a cancelable biometric template (CBT) and initiates multi-party computation (MPC) with a set of computer servers to perform a key inception algorithm and distribute secret shares to the participating servers, as well as to generate relevant parameters. Once registered, the user may present a biometric probe on another computer terminal and retrieve the account parameters using a privacy-preserving method. The account parameters are used with the biometric probe to produce a digital signature by performing MPC. Custodian servers may participate in this method to allow for alternative identification.

A computer alters at least one recognizable metric or text in a digitally encoded photographic image by operating an alteration algorithm in response to user input data while preserving an overall aesthetic quality of the image and obscuring an identity of at least one individual or geographic location appearing in the image. An altered digitally-encoded photographic image prepared by the altering of the at least one recognizable metric or text in the image is stored in a computer memory. User feedback and/or automatic analysis may be performed to define parameter values of the alteration algorithm such that the alteration process achieves preservation of aesthetic qualities while obscuring an identity of interest.

Methods and systems for securing biometric templates and generating secret keys are provided. One or more images are received. Interest points are identified based on the received images, and a plurality of obfuscating data points are generated based on the interest points. An obfuscated template based on the interest points and the obfuscating data points is created and stored. A secret key can be encoded using a subset of at least one of the obfuscating data points and the interest points in the template.
