Multi-Layer Authentication System with Selective Level Access Control

Abstract:

Systems for providing multi-layer authentication are provided. In some examples, a system may receive data associated with a signal detected by a computing device. The signal may be emitted from a smart processing device. The received signal data may be compared to pre-stored signal data to determine whether a match exists. If not, an instruction disabling functionality of the smart processing device may be generated and transmitted to the smart processing device. If so, an instruction enabling functionality of the smart processing device may be generated and transmitted. The system may generate a request for next layer authentication data. The request may be transmitted to one or more computing devices and next layer authentication response data may be received. The next layer authentication response data may be compared to pre-stored next layer authentication data to determine whether a match exists. If not, an instruction disabling functionality of the smart processing device may be generated and transmitted. If so, an instruction enabling additional functionality of the smart processing device may be generated and transmitted.
