Analytic identity measures for physical access control methods
View Patent ↗A personal electronic device enables access to and occupancy of a secure space by providing measures of behaviors, personal attributes, history of transactions and movements that are used to validate continuous authentication and authorization of the device's possessor. This addresses the vulnerability of a misplaced, lost, or stolen electronic credential. An anchor point is a physical measurement of personal physical identity such as voice recognition, fingerprint, iris scan, chemistry, or other biometric. Continuity from an anchor point is measured by GPS way points, financial transactions at familiar vendors, outgoing text messages or passphrases, gait analysis, heart rate, EKG rhythm, or transit time. A request for access is presented upon a challenge based on proximity to a portal location. A digital credential is used to encrypt two or more of the continuity milestones and an anchor point which can be matched against a previously stored or dynamically generated expected value.
1. A method for authorizing a mobile device user for low impedance physical access control comprising;
collecting and analyzing conduct during approach analytic identity measures (C-AIM);
collecting and analyzing destination proximity analytic identity measures (D-AIM); and
upon authorization of the mobile device user, operating an access control actuator.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein collecting and analyzing (C-AIM) comprises: at least one of
a sequence of waypoints in approaching a portal;
a financial transaction using wireless payment;
passing through mass transit turnstiles or tolls;
measurement of sitting, standing, walking times; and
elapsed time operating the mobile device in transit.
3. A method for authorizing a mobile device user for low impedance physical access control comprising;
collecting and analyzing biometric sensor data analytic identity measures (B-AIM);
collecting and analyzing conduct during approach analytic identity Measures (C-AIM); and
collecting and analyzing destination proximity analytic identity measures (D-AIM); and
upon authorization of the mobile device user, operating an access control actuator.
4. The method of claim 3 wherein collecting and analyzing B-AIM comprises: at least one of
an iris scan;
a body mass;
a stride length;
a gait; and
a total body electrical conductance.
5. A method comprising:
collecting a plurality of analytic identity measures (AIMS);
configuring at least one access credential;
and
corresponding with destination access control system, wherein corresponding comprises receiving by a radio device at least one radio signal providing location data, determining a location of the mobile device, and transmitting by the radio apparatus a configured access credential associated with the mobile device and the authenticated bearer on the condition that the location of the mobile device is within a proximity geo-fence of a portal to a controlled perimeter, whereby the mobile device is radio silent until in a vicinity of a portal.
6. The method of claim 5 wherein configuring at least one access credential comprises:
selecting at least one collected analytic identity measure (AIM), and
transforming each collected AIM by a timestamp and a digital credential of the mobile device and bearer, whereby each configured access credential is distinct from every previously transmitted configured access credential.
7. The method of claim 5 wherein
collecting a plurality of AIMs further comprises:
collecting at least one destination analytic identity measure (D-AIM) associated with a location of a portal.
8. The method of claim 7 wherein a D-AIM is one of the group of a Wi-Fi access point in the vicinity of a portal actuator, Global Positioning System coordinates,
a cellular location service,
and an optical signal source.
9. The method of claim 5 wherein collecting a plurality of AIMs further comprises:
collecting at least one conduct analytic identity measure (C-AIM) wherein collecting at least one C-AIM comprises:
at least one of the group of
gait analysis of accelerometer readings to determine stride length, average speed, height and length of step, cadence, steps between directional change, and standing from seated position;
financial transactions performed, using transit, food/beverage, fuel, and street vendors;
waypoints in commute and portal approach based on GPS or location services; and
messages sent and received during travel toward portal.
10. The method of claim 5 wherein collecting a plurality of AIMs further comprises:
collecting at least one biometric analytic identity measure (B-AIM) wherein collecting at least one B-AIM comprises:
at least one of the group,
operating an iris scanner device,
operating a microphone and audio recognition device,
operating a camera and facial recognition device; and
successfully matching the sensor recorded data with one of a stored B-AIM.
11. The method of claim 5 wherein
collecting a plurality of AIMs further comprises:
collecting at least one anchor analytic identity measure (A-AIM) wherein collecting at least one A-AIM comprises:
operating a cryptographically secure token assigned to bearer;
receiving a passphrase created by the bearer;
receiving answers to security questions stored by the bearer; and
receiving biometric sensor data recorded at bearer's origin.
