Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An approach for enabling multi-factor biometric authentication of a user of a mobile device is described. A biometric authenticator captures, via a mobile device, first and second biometric data for a user. The biometric authentication further associates the first biometric data and the second biometric data. The biometric authenticator then initiates a multi-factor authentication procedure that utilizes the first biometric data and the second biometric data to authenticate the user based on the association.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).
