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 increases network usage costs as authentication attempts fail, making it cost-prohibitive for malicious actors to perform attacks. Additionally, the system employs biometric information for enhanced security during authentication, improving the overall security of the computing system.

The patent includes claims for a computing node in a distributed system that authenticates users using biometric information, smart contracts, and network usage costs. It outlines operations such as obtaining user information, generating authentication input requests, analyzing handwriting samples, and increasing network usage costs based on failed authentication attempts. The method also involves anomaly detection models, location-based authentication, and secret reproduction for further security measures. Overall, the patent focuses on enhancing user authentication processes in decentralized computing systems to prevent malicious activities effectively.
