An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a communication interface including circuitry, a memory, and a processor which, based on receiving ID information generated by performing a first encryption process on biometric information and password information generated by performing a second encryption process on the biometric information from an external electronic device through the communication interface, is configured to control the electronic device to: store the ID information and the password information in the memory. The processor, based on receiving first ID information and first password information from the external electronic device, is configured to control the electronic device to: acquire at least one candidate ID information from the memory based on the first ID information, compare password information corresponding to each of the acquired at least one candidate ID information with the first password information to identify one of the candidate ID information, and perform user authentication based on the identified candidate ID information and corresponding password information.

An authentication method for a computer to execute a process includes referring to a memory that stores biometric information of a person associated with feature information of a face image of the person; specifying a first biometric information group and a second biometric information group; specifying one selected from the first biometric information group and the second biometric information group, based on a similarity between feature information of a third face image included in third imaged data and each of the feature information of the first face image and the feature information of the second face image; and executing authentication processing according to a plurality of pieces of biometric information included in the specified biometric information group and the acquired biometric information.

An occupant-dependent setting system for a vehicle includes a setting processor, a server apparatus including a server memory, and first and second authentication processors. On the condition that the occupant is authenticated by the first authentication processor, the second authentication processor acquires, from the vehicle, data regarding the occupant and data regarding the vehicle, and authenticates a combination of the occupant and the vehicle. On the condition that the combination of the occupant and the vehicle is unauthenticatable by the data regarding the occupant and the data regarding the vehicle, the second authentication processor authenticates the combination of the occupant and the vehicle, by a combination of account data regarding the occupant and the vehicle. The account data is held by an occupant terminal of the occupant on board the vehicle to make access to the server apparatus.

Apparatus and methods for multifactor authentication using a smart mobile device are provided. The apparatus and methods may include an authentication engine on a server, a smart mobile device belonging to a user and a smartphone belonging to a user. The authentication engine may determine a location of the user, the user's smartphone, and the user's smart mobile device. When the smart mobile device is within a pre-determined distance to the user or the user's smartphone, the authentication engine may send an authentication request to the smart mobile device, or automatically authenticate the user.

Techniques are disclosed in which a computer system receives a transaction request and uses a federated machine learning model to analyze the transaction request. A server computer system may generate a federated machine learning model and distribute portions of the federated machine learning models to other components of the computer system including a user device and/or edge servers. In various embodiments, various components of the computer system apply transaction request evaluation factors to the portions of the federated machine learning model to generate scores. The server computer system uses the scores to determine a response to the transaction request.

An information processing apparatus including a control unit configured to perform obtaining result data indicating a result of locking and unlocking performed by a locking and unlocking device that performs locking and unlocking based on authentication information obtained from a portable terminal carried by a user, and generating, based on the result data, proposal data including a proposal for a service to be provided to the user.

Disclosed is a system for enrolling a user for facilitation of transactions using biometric authentication. The enrolling system includes an application program that is configured to: receive a user attribute; create an anonymous client reference (ACR) associated with the user attribute; and receive a biometric template. The biometric template has been determined from an input of a biometric. The enrolling system is further configured to create an association between the biometric template and the ACR.

Authentication translation is disclosed. A request to access a resource is received at an authentication translator, as is an authentication input. The authentication input corresponds to at least one stored record. The stored record is associated at least with the resource. In response to the receiving, a previously stored credential associated with the resource is accessed. The credential is provided to the resource.

A user request associated with a first user and a shipment of one or more items is received. A prompt that the first user provide one or more biometric identifiers is provided. The prompt selectively excludes a request for billing information from the first user. At least partially in response to the providing of the prompt, at least a first biometric identifier of the first user is obtained. At least partially in response to the obtaining of the first biometric identifier of the first user, the billing information is automatically processed. Based at least in part on the automatically processing of the billing information, the user request associated with the shipment of the one or more items is completed.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, initializing a secure timer in a wireless device, determining whether a subscriber identification module (SIM) card installed in the wireless device comprises a carrier identity that matches a carrier identity stored in the machine-readable medium, establishing a network connection with a trusted server, starting the secure timer if the SIM card and network connection are satisfactory, periodically checking the network connection and SIM card until expiry of the secure timer, penalizing the secure timer responsive to a failure of the network connection or SIM card check, and responsive to expiry of the secure timer, unlocking a SIM lock. Other embodiments are disclosed.
