Biometric identification methods and apparatuses (including devices and systems) for uniquely identifying one an individual based on wearable garments including a plurality of sensors, including but not limited to sensors having multiple sensing modalities (e.g., movement, respiratory movements, heart rate, ECG, EEG, etc.).

A system for creating a combined electronic identification that obtains user information (202) about a user of a hardware device (100), authenticates the user from the user information (202), obtains a hardware profile (208) of the device (100), the hardware profile 208 comprising user generated data stored on the device (100) and links the user information (202) and the hardware profile (208) as a combined electronic identification. The hardware device (100) can be comprised of a main processor, memory, a touchscreen interface, and a wireless communication module, such as a mobile phone, computer, or tablet computer.

A method of managing a file of a subscriber authenticating module embedded in a terminal device and a module for authenticating a subscriber by using the method. The method of managing the file includes configuring a file structure for one or more profiles and managing one or more files included in the file structure in response to a request. Thus, the method is efficient for a multiple-profile environment.

There is proposed a user authentication method that uses a time-based password (TP) having a relatively long update cycle instead of a TOTP having a conventional short update cycle (e.g., 60 seconds). The present invention is a user authentication method executed by an authentication system that performs authentication of a user who performs access from an information communication terminal device in order to use a usage target system by using a reference terminal device that includes a security token capable of generating a TP. The authentication method includes setting an update cycle of the TP to a first update cycle of 30 days, 1 month, or a time period longer than 1 month, receiving a user authentication request that includes a time-based password generated by the security token according to the set first update cycle, and performing the authentication based on the TP contained in the received user authentication request.

A device may obtain registration data associated with a registration of an individual. The registration data may include an image that depicts a physical key and a reference object. The device may process the image to identify a first feature of the physical key and a first measurement of the first feature based on the size of the reference object. The device may store first feature data based on the first feature and the first measurement. The device may obtain second feature data based on a second feature of the physical key and a second measurement of the second feature identified from an insertion of the physical key into a keyhole of an authentication mechanism. The device may determine whether the first feature data corresponds to the second feature data. The device may authenticate the individual based on determining that the first feature data corresponds to the second feature data.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to preventing unauthorized screen capture activity. A computing platform may detect, via an infrared sensor associated with a computing device, an infrared signal from a second device attempting an unauthorized image capture of contents being displayed by a display device of the computing device. Subsequently, the computing platform may determine, via the computing platform, the contents being displayed by the display device. Then, the computing platform may retrieve a record of the contents being displayed by the display device. Then, the computing platform may determine a risk level associated with the infrared signal. Subsequently, the computing platform may perform, via the computing platform and based on the risk level, a remediation task to prevent the unauthorized image capture.
