Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods and apparatus are provided for sequential authentication of a user that employ one or more error rates characterizing each security challenge. According to one aspect of the invention, a user is challenged with at least one knowledge challenge to obtain an intermediate authentication result; and the user challenges continue until a cumulative authentication result satisfies one or more criteria. The intermediate authentication result is based, for example, on one or more of false accept and false reject error probabilities for each knowledge challenge. A false accept error probability describes a probability of a different user answering the knowledge challenge correctly. A false reject error probability describes a probability of a genuine user not answering the knowledge challenge correctly. The false accept and false reject error probabilities can be adapted based on field data or known information about a given challenge.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for sequential authentication of a user, comprising: challenging said user with at least one knowledge challenge to obtain an intermediate authentication result, wherein said intermediate authentication result is based on one or more of false accept and false reject error probabilities for each knowledge challenge, wherein said false accept and false reject error probabilities for a current challenge are updated based on information from one or more…
