Method and System to Validate Identity Without Putting Privacy at Risk

摘要

A method and system to verify identity while protecting private data. To locally verify identity without requiring communication with an external database or passing personal/identity information over network connections. To create a database and/or statistical model for later use to verify identify, private information from a first media is input to a device. Private information subsequently presented via a second media is then verified locally by comparing to the private information previously captured from the first media. If the resultant correlation score is sufficiently high the private information from the first media and from the second media are determined to belong to the same individual, and the user is authenticated or a desired action is approved. In case of a low correlation score, a notification may be sent to one or more entities alerting authorities of a security breach or identity theft.
