Application: User authentication in decentralized computing system environment (Patent ID: US20240211564A1)

The patent filed by Capital One Financial Corp. describes a computing system that authenticates users before allowing blockchain functions, using biometric information, smart contracts, and network usage costs to prevent brute force attacks. The system employs a smart contract to assist with user authentication, increasing network usage costs as authentication attempts fail to deter malicious actors. Additionally, the system utilizes various biometric information for enhanced verification and security during the authentication process.

The patent outlines a method for user authentication in a distributed system, involving obtaining user information, generating authentication input requests, and increasing network usage costs for failed authentication attempts. By incorporating smart contracts and biometric data, the system aims to prevent brute force attacks by making it cost-prohibitive for malicious actors to continue such attacks. The method also includes features such as location-based authentication, anomaly detection models, and secret reproduction verification to further enhance security measures and protect against unauthorized access.
