DYNAMIC BIOMETRIC AUTHENTICATION BASED ON DISTRIBUTED LEDGER DATA

Abstract:

The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented devices, apparatuses, and processes that, among other things, perform dynamic biometric authentication based on distributed ledger data. For example, a device may compute a first hash value based on first biometric data captured by a sensor unit, and may transmit a request to, and receive a response from, a computing system across a communications network via the communications unit. The request may cause the computing system to execute instructions maintained within the distributed ledger data, and to extract second biometric data maintained within an element of the distributed ledger data. The second biometric data may include a second hash, which the computing system may incorporate into the response. The device may authenticate an identity associated with the device when the first hash value corresponds to the second hash value incorporated within the response.
