Application: Multifactor authentication via bifurcated passcode and non-fungible token (Patent ID: US20240106649A1)
The patent filed by Bank of America Corp. describes a system and method for multifactor user authentication using secure tokenization, such as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) and multiple passkeys. The system involves generating authentication NFTs based on user credentials and distributing passkeys to multiple holders. When authentication is requested, a plurality of passkeys are verified, and the NFTs are decrypted to authenticate the user based on the credentials. The system also includes a private distributed trust computing network for storing and verifying the authenticity of the NFTs.
The claims outline the specific functionalities of the system, such as generating authentication NFTs, verifying passkeys, and dynamically determining authentication requirements based on various parameters. The system is designed to ensure secure and reliable multifactor authentication by involving multiple passkey holders and utilizing cryptographic algorithms for decryption. Additionally, the system includes provisions for storing NFTs in a deactivated state and activating them when needed, as well as accessing NFTs through a private distributed trust computing network. Overall, the patent describes a comprehensive system for multifactor user authentication leveraging tokenization and distributed trust computing for enhanced security and reliability.
