Liveness Detection for User Authentication

An initial authentication of a user, if successful, causes a token to be stored on, and presented from, a wearable device (WD). The WD continually monitors one or more of the wearer's vital signs to confirm that (1) the WD is being worn by a living person rather than an inanimate simulacrum, an...

Summary:An initial authentication of a user, if successful, causes a token to be stored on, and presented from, a wearable device (WD). The WD continually monitors one or more of the wearer's vital signs to confirm that (1) the WD is being worn by a living person rather than an inanimate simulacrum, and (2) the WD is still worn by the same person who underwent the authentication. The token can be read by a token-reader on at least one protected device (PD). If the token is valid, its presentation serves as authentication and the token-reader grants the user access to the PD. If the WD vital-sign signal is interrupted when the user removes the WD, the WD stops presenting the token and can no longer be used to access a PD.
