Abstract

Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to systems, methods, devices, and machine-readable mediums for implementing gesture-based signature authentication. In one embodiment, a method may involve recording a first gesture-based signature and storing the recorded first gesture-based signature. Then the method compares the first gesture-based signature with a second gesture-based signature. Then the method verifies the first gesture-based signature as authentic when the first gesture-based signature is substantially similar to the second gesture-based signature.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An article of manufacture comprising at least one non-transitory machine-readable medium having stored thereon instructions, which if executed by a computing device cause the computing device to:
capture a first biometric-based input of a user obtained from an input device of the computing device;
compare first data corresponding to the first biometric-based input with second data corresponding to a second biometric-based input in a first storage location of the computing device, the second biometric-based input associated with a username and a password of the user to gain access to a website, wherein the password comprises a text-based password in a second storage location of the computing device;
authenticate the user in response to the first data matching the second data; and
after authentication of the user in response to the first data matching the second data, automatically enter the text-based password into a password field to gain access to the website.

2. The article of claim 1 , wherein the article further comprises instructions stored thereon, which if executed by the computing device cause the computing device to register the second biometric-based input prior to the capture of the first biometric-based input.

3. The article of claim 2 , wherein the article further comprises instructions stored thereon, which if executed by the computing device cause the computing device to:
associate the second biometric-based input with the website; and
further associate the second biometric-based input with the username.

4. The article of claim 1 , wherein the article further comprises instructions stored thereon, which if executed by the computing device cause the computing device to present a graphical user interface on a display of the computing device to request input of the first biometric-based input.

5. The article of claim 1 , wherein the article further comprises instructions stored thereon, which if executed by the computing device cause the computing device to provide the text-based password in response to a password request if the first biometric-based input has been verified as authentic.

6. The article of claim 1 , wherein the article further comprises instructions stored thereon, which if executed by the computing device cause the computing device to provide the text-based password comprising an ASCII password in response to a password request if the first biometric-based input has been verified as authentic.

7. The article of claim 1 , wherein the first biometric-based input includes at least one of a touch-screen glyph, a spoken phrase, and a movement in three dimensional space.

8. The article of claim 1 , wherein the article further comprises instructions stored thereon, which if executed by the computing device cause the computing device to secure the second biometric-based input via a security measure.

9. The article of claim 8 , wherein the security measure comprises at least one of a key technique and a hash technique.

10. The article of claim 1 , wherein the article further comprises instructions stored thereon, which if executed by the computing device cause the computing device to capture the first biometric-based input during an authentication procedure, and obtain the second biometric-based input during a registration procedure.

11. The article of claim 1 , wherein the article further comprises instructions stored thereon, which if executed by the computing device cause the computing device to obtain a plurality of second biometric-based inputs each associated with a given application or website.

12. The article of claim 1 , wherein the article further comprises instructions stored thereon, which if executed by the computing device cause the computing device to request the user to re-enter the first biometric-based input in response to the first data not matching the second data.

13. A system comprising:
a processor;
at least one input device;
a memory coupled to the processor, the memory to include one or more capture buffers; and
a storage coupled to the processor, the storage to store a set of instructions, which if executed by the processor causes the processor to perform a method comprising:
capturing a first biometric-based input of a user obtained from the at least one input device;
comparing first data corresponding to the first biometric-based input with second data corresponding to a second biometric-based input in a first storage location of the system, the second biometric-based input associated with a username and a password of the user to gain access to a website, wherein the password comprises a text-based password in a second storage location of the system;
authenticating the user in response to the first data matching the second data; and
after authenticating the user in response to the first data matching the second data, automatically entering the text-based password into a password field to gain access to the website.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the storage is to further store instructions, which if executed by the processor cause the processor to register the second biometric-based input prior to the capture of the first biometric-based input, and associate the second biometric-based input with the website and the username.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the system further comprises a touch screen.

16. The system of claim 13 , wherein the system further comprises a microphone.

17. The system of claim 13 , wherein the system comprises a smart phone.

18. A method comprising:
capturing a first biometric-based input of a user obtained from an input device of a computing device;
comparing first data corresponding to the first biometric-based input with second data corresponding to a second biometric-based input in a first storage location of the computing device, the second biometric-based input associated with a username and a password of the user to gain access to a website, wherein the password comprises a text-based password in a second storage location of the computing device;
authenticating the user in response to the first data matching the second data; and
after authenticating the user in response to the first data matching the second data, automatically entering the text-based password into a password field to gain access to the website.

19. The method of claim 18 , further comprising registering the second biometric-based input prior to capturing the first biometric-based input.

20. The method of claim 19 , further comprising associating the second biometric-based input with the website and the username.
