Abstract:
A fingerprint sensing system. The fingerprint sensing system includes: at least one sensor; at least one display device; at least one application processor; and at least one secure enclave processor. The application processor(s) receives fingerprint data from the sensor(s) and provides the fingerprint data to the secure enclave processor(s). The secure enclave processor(s) decodes the fingerprint data and provides a signal indicative of at least one matched node. The application processor(s), responsive to receipt of the signal indicative of the matched node(s), presents at least a portion of a synthetic fingerprint image via at least one display device corresponding to the matched node(s).
Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed relating to the secure communication of devices. In one embodiment, a first device is configured to perform a pairing operation with a second device to establish a secure communication link between the first device and the second device. The pairing operation includes receiving firmware from the second device to be executed by the first device during communication over the secure communication link, and in response to a successful verification of the firmware, establishing a shared encryption key to be used by the first and second devices during the communication. In some embodiments, the pairing operation includes receiving a digital signature created from a hash value of the firmware and a public key of the second device, and verifying the firmware by extracting the hash value from the digital signature and comparing the extracted hash value with a hash value of the received firmware.

Abstract:
An electronic device may include a finger biometric sensor, a memory, and a processor capable of generating a respective finger biometric template node for each finger positioning adjacent the finger biometric sensor. The processor may also be capable of allocating a set space of the memory to store a total number of finger biometric template nodes based upon a first number of fingers and with each finger having a first number of finger biometric template nodes associated therewith. In addition, the processor may reallocate the set space of the memory to store the total number of finger biometric template nodes but with a second number of finger biometric template nodes associated with at least one finger, with the second number of finger biometric template nodes being different than the first number of finger biometric template nodes.
Abstract:
An electronic device includes, or is connected to, a biometric sensing device. A non-textual graphical element may be displayed when a biometric image received from the biometric sensing device does not match a reference biometric image. The non-textual graphical element indicates a number of authentication retries remaining for the user. The non-textual graphical element is modified when another biometric image received from the biometric sensing device does not match the reference biometric image. The non-textual graphical element is modified to indicate that a fewer number of authentication retries remain for the user.

Abstract:
A computing device may receive authentication information. Within a time-out period, a fingerprint may also be received. The computing device may assign one or more authentication credentials to the fingerprint based on authentication credentials associated with the received authentication information. In some implementations, the computing device may assign the authentication credentials associated with the received authentication information to the biometric. However, in other implementations, the computing device may assign different authentication credentials to the biometric based on one or more user preferences, defaults, security policies, and/or enterprise policies. In various implementations, the authentication credentials assigned to the biometric may be altered, such as by adding and/or removing one or more authentication credentials. Such alteration may be performed in response to a received user request, changed enterprise policy, changed security policy, fraud alert, and/or other such factor.
Abstract:
Embodiments may take the form of devices and methods to help expedite matching biometric data in a validation process. One embodiment, for example, may take the form of a method for biometric validation including receiving a biometric input and retrieving metadata data of a most recently matched template. The method also includes evaluating the metadata and selecting one or more nodes from the most recently matched template for comparison. Additionally, the method includes comparing the selected one or more nodes with the received biometric input and determining if the selected one or more nodes match with the received biometric input. Also, the method includes validating the received biometric input if the selected one or more nodes match with the received biometric input.
