Method and device for identity authentication
The present disclosure discloses a method and device for identity authentication. One example method includes retrieving stored fingerprint information for a user including a plurality of recorded fingerprints for the user, each recorded fingerprint associated with a different finger of the user; selecting a subset of the recorded fingerprints to be used to authenticate the user; prompting the user to provide fingerprint information corresponding to each finger associated with a recorded fingerprint in the selected subset; in response to prompting the user, receiving user-provided fingerprint information from the user; matching the user-provided fingerprint information against the selected subset of the recorded fingerprints; and determining that an identity authentication of the user succeeds when the user-provided fingerprint information matches the selected subset of the recorded fingerprints.
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving fingerprints entered by a user and fingerprint identification information corresponding to the fingerprints;
recording and storing the fingerprints for use in subsequent authentication of the user;
detecting whether the fingerprints entered by the user already exists among stored fingerprints for the user; and
upon determining that that the fingerprints entered by the user already exists among the stored fingerprints for the user, suspending receipt of fingerprints for the user, and outputting alarm information indicating that an attempt to repeat entry of fingerprints has occurred;
retrieving multiple stored fingerprints for the user, wherein the multiple stored fingerprints each corresponding to a different finger of the user;
in response to receiving an identity authentication request, randomly selecting two or more of the different fingers of the user for which stored fingerprints were retrieved;
prompting the user to input fingerprints for each of the randomly selected fingers;
in response to prompting the user to input fingerprints for each of the randomly selected fingers, receiving the input fingerprints from the user;
comparing the input fingerprints for each of the randomly selected fingers with the stored fingerprints that correspond to the randomly selected fingers;
generating a response to the authentication request based on comparing the input fingerprints for each of the randomly selected fingers with the stored fingerprints that correspond to the randomly selected fingers; and
transmitting the response to the authentication request.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting whether a fingerprint for each of the randomly selected fingers is received within a predetermined time period for each prompt for the fingerprint; and
when the predetermined time period is exceeded, determining that the identity authentication of the user fails and outputting alarm information indicating a time out occurred during user entry.
3. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to one or more computers and configured with instructions executable by the one or more computers to:
receive fingerprints entered by a user and fingerprint identification information corresponding to the fingerprints;
record and storing the fingerprints for use in subsequent authentication of the user;
detect whether the fingerprints entered by the user already exists among stored fingerprints for the user; and
upon determining that that the fingerprints entered by the user already exists among the stored fingerprints for the user, suspend receipt of fingerprints for the user, and outputting alarm information indicating that an attempt to repeat entry of fingerprints has occurred;
retrieve multiple stored fingerprints for the user, wherein the multiple stored fingerprints each corresponding to a different finger of the user;
in response to receiving an identity authentication request, randomly select two or more of the different fingers of the user for which stored fingerprints were retrieved;
prompt the user to input fingerprints for each of the randomly selected fingers;
in response to prompting the user to input fingerprints for each of the randomly selected fingers, receive the input fingerprints from the user;
compare the input fingerprints for each of the randomly selected fingers with the stored fingerprints that correspond to the randomly selected fingers;
generate a response to the authentication request based on comparing the input fingerprints for each of the randomly selected fingers with the stored fingerprints that correspond to the randomly selected fingers; and
transmit the response to the authentication request.
4. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 3 , further configured with instructions executable by the one or more computers to:
detect whether a fingerprint for each of the randomly selected fingers is received within a predetermined time period for each prompt for the fingerprint; and
when the predetermined time period is exceeded, determine that the identity authentication of the user fails and outputting alarm information indicating a time out occurred during user entry.
5. A system, comprising:
one or more computers; and
one or more computer-readable memories coupled to the one or more computers and configured with instructions executable by the one or more computers to:
receive fingerprints entered by the user and fingerprint identification information corresponding to the fingerprints;
record and storing the fingerprints for use in subsequent authentication of the user;
detect whether the fingerprints entered by the user already exists among stored fingerprints for the user; and
upon determining that that the fingerprints entered by the user already exists among the stored fingerprints for the user, suspend receipt of fingerprints for the user, and outputting alarm information indicating that an attempt to repeat entry of fingerprints has occurred:
retrieve multiple stored fingerprints for the user, wherein the multiple stored fingerprints each corresponding to a different finger of the user;
in response to receiving an identity authentication request, randomly select two or more of the different fingers of the user for which stored fingerprints were retrieved;
prompt the user to input fingerprints for each of the randomly selected fingers;
in response to prompting the user to input fingerprints for each of the randomly selected fingers, receive the input fingerprints from the user;
compare the input fingerprints for each of the randomly selected fingers with the stored fingerprints that correspond to the randomly selected fingers;
generate a response to the authentication request based on comparing the input fingerprints for each of the randomly selected fingers with the stored fingerprints that correspond to the randomly selected fingers; and
transmit the response to the authentication request.
6. The system of claim 5 , further configured with instructions executable by the one or more computers to:
detect whether a fingerprint for each of the randomly selected fingers is received within a predetermined time period for each prompt for the fingerprint; and
when the predetermined time period is exceeded, determine that the identity authentication of the user fails and outputting alarm information indicating a time out occurred during user entry.
