Abstract

Claims (49)

1. A method, comprising:

capturing biometric data of a subject via at least one computing device;

rendering, on a display of the at least one computing device, at least two shape overlays and an instruction to:

trace a first shape overlay of the at least two shape overlays in a first color; and

trace a second shape overlay of the at least two shape overlays in a second color different from the first color;

during capture of the biometric data, receiving, via the at least one computing device, a tracing input corresponding to the at least two shape overlays, wherein the tracing input comprises a first tracing input for the first shape overlay and a second tracing input for the second shape overlay;

determining that the first tracing input is associated with the first color and the second tracing input is associated with the second color;

receiving the biometric data from the at least one computing device;

comparing the tracing input and the at least two shape overlays; and

based on the comparison, determining that the biometric data satisfies at least one liveness threshold.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating at least one fixed-size representation of the subject based on the biometric data.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the biometric data comprises a facial scan of the subject.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the facial scan comprises a video.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the first shape overlay of the at least two shape overlays is a first shape; and

the second shape overlay of the at least two shape overlays is a second shape different from the first shape.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising rendering, on the display, a plurality of color selectors comprising at least the first color and the second color.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one shape overlay of the at least two shape overlays comprises a closed shape.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one shape overlay of the at least two shape overlaps comprises an open shape.

9. A system, comprising:

a server having a processor operatively configured to:

receive captured biometric data of a subject from at least one computing device;

output instructions for rendering, on a display of the at least one computing device, at least two shape overlays and an instruction to:

trace a first shape overlay of the at least two shape overlays in a first color; and

trace a second shape overlay of the at least two shape overlays in a second color different from the first color;

receive biometric data and tracing input data from the at least one computing device, the tracing input data being indicative of a tracing input received by the at least one computing device simultaneously with the at least one computing device capturing the biometric data, and the tracing input data further corresponding to the at least two shape overlays, wherein the tracing input data comprises a first tracing input for the first shape overlay and a second tracing input for the second shape overlay;

determine that the first tracing input is associated with the first color and the second tracing input is associated with the second color;

compare the tracing input data and the at least two shape overlays; and

based on the comparison, determine that the biometric data satisfies at least one liveness threshold.

10. The system of claim 9 , further comprising at least one data store configured to store a plurality of shape overlays, wherein the processor is configured to retrieve the at least two shape overlays from the plurality of shape overlays.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to pseudorandomly generate the at least two shape overlays based on a seed value.

12. The system of claim 9 , further comprising at least one data store configured to store at least one policy corresponding to the at least one computing device, wherein the processor is configured to render the at least two shape overlays on the display based on the at least one policy.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the at least one policy comprises causes the processor to render the at least two shape overlays within a particular region of the display.

14. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:

capture biometric data of a subject via at least one secondary computing device;

render, on a display of the at least one secondary computing device, at least one shape overlay;

render a particular shape on the display;

during capture of the biometric data, receive, via the at least one secondary computing device, a tracing input of the at least one shape overlay, wherein the tracing input comprises an erasure of a portion of the particular shape and a non-erased portion of the particular shape;

receive the biometric data from the at least one secondary computing device;

compare the tracing input and the at least one shape overlay by comparing the non-erased portion of the particular shape to the at least one shape overlay; and

based on the comparison, determine that the biometric data satisfies at least one liveness threshold.

15. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the computer, further cause the computer to:

generate at least one fixed-size representation (FXR) of the subject based on the biometric data;

compare the at least one FXR to at least one secondary FXR associated with a second subject; and

based on the comparison of the at least one FXR to the at least one secondary FXR, positively verify that the subject and the second subject share an identity.

16. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the computer, further cause the computer to, authorize access for the at least one secondary computing device access to a particular digital environment in response to positively verifying that the subject and the second subject share the identity.

17. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the computer, further cause the computer to, in response to positively verifying that the subject and the second subject share the identity:

decrypt at least one encrypted communication; and

render the at least one encrypted communication on the display of the at least one secondary computing device.
