Abrégé

A method of creating an algorithm to enhance detection of fraudulent audio data is provided that includes generating, by an electronic device, audio data using a synthetic speech creation algorithm, processing the generated audio data using a synthetic speech detection algorithm, determining whether the synthetic speech detection algorithm detects the generated audio data, generating additional audio data using the synthetic speech creation algorithm, and creating a database including the generated audio data and genuine data. When the synthetic speech detection algorithm failed to detect the generated audio data, the synthetic speech detection algorithm is divided into a first algorithm and a second algorithm. The second algorithm is fine-tuned using the data in the created database. The first algorithm and the finetuned second algorithm are combined to create a fine-tuned synthetic speech detection algorithm for enhancing detection of fraudulent audio data generated by the synthetic speech creation algorithm.

Abrégé

A method for determining authenticity of a document is provided that includes
the step of capturing, by an electronic device, an image of a document. The
document includes
image data of a biometric modality of a user and informational data. Moreover,
the method
includes the steps of cropping the captured image data to include an image of
the document only,
removing the informational data from the cropped image, and generating a gray
scale image
from the cropped image. The gray scale image and the cropped image are a pair
of images.
Furthermore, the method includes the step of simultaneously processing, by a
trained machine
learning model (MLM) each image in the pair of images, to determine whether
the identity
document in the captured image is authentic.

Abrégé

A method for enhancing detection of a fraudulent identity document in an image is provided that includes receiving, by an electronic device, an image of an identity document associated with a user including at least one background object. The method also includes determining the size and orientation of the at least one background object based on the received image, extracting information about the received image from the received image, and extracting information from the received image about a capture device that captured the received image. Each of the size and orientation of the at least one background object, the extracted received image data information, and the extracted capture device information is compared against corresponding information in record data of the user. A similarity score is calculated for each comparison. When each similarity score satisfies a threshold value, the identity document in the received image is deemed to be fraudulent.

A method for enhancing user liveness detection is provided that includes receiving image data of a user that includes items of metadata. Moreover, the method includes comparing each item of metadata associated with the received image data against a corresponding item of metadata associated with record image data of the user, and determining whether each item of metadata associated with the received image data matches the corresponding item of metadata. In response to determining at least one item of metadata associated with the received image data does not match the corresponding item of metadata, the method deems the received image data to be genuine and from a live person. In response to determining all items of metadata associated with the received image match the corresponding item of metadata, the method deems the received image data to be fraudulent and not from a living person.

A method for improving the security of secret authentication data during authentication transactions is provided that includes converting the secret authentication data of a user into scrambled secret authentication data by associating a different text-string with each item of information included in the secret authentication data. The method also includes capturing the scrambled secret authentication data with a communications device, and conducting an authentication transaction with the captured authentication data.

A method for determining biometric data for use in conducting authentication transactions is provided that includes capturing biometric data from a user during an authentication transaction and capturing conditions of the authentication transaction with a device. The captured biometric data corresponds to desired biometric data. The method also includes transmitting the captured biometric data and conditions to an authentication system that stores biometric data and conditions therein. Moreover, the method includes determining that stored biometric data corresponding to the desired biometric data, associated with conditions that best match the captured conditions, is to be used for authenticating the user.

A method for generating e-mail messages with increased security includes receiving an e-mail message at a control system. The e-mail message has recipients, a security level, control attributes, and e-mail message contents. Moreover, the method includes verifying the recipients at the control system, and storing the recipients, security level, control attributes, and e-mail message contents in the control system when each of the recipients is verified. Furthermore, the method includes generating modified e-mail messages from the e-mail message, transmitting each of the modified e-mail messages to a respective recipient, and capturing authentication data from one of the recipients when the one recipient indicates a desire to view the e-mail message contents with a communications device operated by the one recipient. When the one recipient is successfully authenticated, the method includes permitting the one recipient to view the e-mail message contents in accordance with the control attributes.

A method for accessing e-mail messages from a control system includes requesting access to e-mail message contents of a user stored in the control system, determining whether the user is enrolled in and activated by the control system, and authenticating the user when the user is enrolled in and activated by the control system. Moreover, the method includes permitting the user to view a list of e-mail messages when the user is successfully authenticated. The e-mail messages included in the list are associated with the user. Furthermore, the method includes permitting the user to access the contents of e-mail messages in the list having a security level equal to or less than a security level associated with the successful authentication.

A method of host-directed illumination for verifying the validity of biometric data of a user is provided that includes capturing biometric data from a user with an authentication device during authentication and directing illumination of the biometric data from a host authentication system during the capturing operation. Moreover, the method includes comparing illumination characteristics of the captured biometric data against illumination characteristics expected to result from the directing operation, and determining that the user is a live user when the illumination characteristics of the captured biometric data match the illumination characteristics expected to result from the directing operation.

A method for authenticating users over networks includes requesting a one-time password, entering a personal identification number into a communications device, and retrieving a replaceable shared secret stored in the communications device. Moreover, the method includes generating a hashed personal identification number from the entered personal identification number, combining the hashed personal identification number with the replaceable shared secret to generate a modified shared secret, and generating a one-time password with the modified shared secret and the time of requesting the one-time password.

A method for replacing a shared secret over a network is provided that includes determining that a security breach could have occurred, determining that a shared secret of a user is to be replaced, and transmitting a renewal message to an authentication system requesting a new shared secret and an associated effective life for the user. Moreover, the method includes generating a new shared secret and an associated effective life at the authentication system for the user, and replacing the shared secret and associated effective life in an enrollment data record of the user with the new shared secret and associated effective life. Furthermore, the method includes transmitting the new shared secret and associated effective life to a communications device associated with the user, and replacing a shared secret and associated effective life stored in the communications device with the new shared secret and associated effective life.
