SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF GENERATING USER IDENTITY PACKETS USING BIOMETRICS
Systems and methods of generating user identity packets using biometrics are disclosed herein. An example method includes generating a user identity packet. The user identity packet is generated by verifying that data stored on a near-field communication (NFC) chip of an identification document has not been tampered with, and confirming an identity of an owner of the identification document using both a current biometric and a baseline biometric stored on the NFC chip. The user identity packet is stored on a mobile device. The user identity packet is provided in place of the identification document when a requester has asked for the identification document.
1 . A method, comprising:
generating a user identity packet by:
verifying that data stored on a near-field communication (NFC) chip of an identification document has not been tampered with; and
confirming an identity of an owner of the identification document using both a current biometric and a baseline biometric stored on the NFC chip;
storing the user identity packet on a mobile device; and
providing the user identity packet in place of the identification document when a requester has asked for the identification document.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing instructions to the owner of the identification document to obtain the current biometric using the mobile device.
3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving the current biometric from the mobile device and evaluating the current biometric.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the current biometric comprises one of a selfie, a photograph, a retinal scan, an iris scan, a fingerprint, or other biometric data.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the baseline biometric data is stored on the NFC chip by an issuing authority of the identification document.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the baseline biometric data is first obtained when the owner of the identification document applies for or obtains the identification document.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein confirming an identity of an owner of the identification document using both a current biometric and a baseline biometric stored on the NFC chip further comprises extracting the baseline biometric from the NFC chip.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein confirming an identity of an owner of the identification document using both a current biometric and a baseline biometric stored on the NFC chip further comprises evaluating the baseline biometric to confirm the identity of the owner of the identification document.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the identification document is one of a biometric passport, a digital passport, a passport, a government issued ID, and a drivers' license.
10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the storing of the user identity packet on the mobile device is performed in an encrypted manner.
11 . A device, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to perform a method comprising:
generating a user identity packet by:
verifying that data stored on a near-field communication (NFC) chip of an identification document has not been tampered with; and
confirming an identity of an owner of the identification document using both a current biometric and a baseline biometric stored on the NFC chip;
storing the user identity packet on a mobile device; and
providing the user identity packet in place of the identification document when a requester has asked for the identification document.
12 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises providing instructions to the owner of the identification document to obtain the current biometric using the mobile device.
13 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises receiving the current biometric from the mobile device and evaluating the current biometric.
14 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the current biometric comprises one of a selfie, a photograph, a retinal scan, an iris scan, a fingerprint, or other biometric data.
15 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the baseline biometric data is stored on the NFC chip by an issuing authority of the identification document.
16 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the baseline biometric data is first obtained when the owner of the identification document applies for or obtains the identification document.
17 . The device of claim 11 , wherein confirming an identity of an owner of the identification document using both a current biometric and a baseline biometric stored on the NFC chip further comprises extracting the baseline biometric from the NFC chip.
18 . The device of claim 11 , wherein confirming an identity of an owner of the identification document using both a current biometric and a baseline biometric stored on the NFC chip further comprises evaluating the baseline biometric to confirm the identity of the owner of the identification document.
19 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the identification document is one of a biometric passport, a digital passport, a passport, a government issued ID, and a drivers' license.
20 . The device of claim 11 , wherein the storing of the user identity packet on the mobile device is performed in an encrypted manner.
