User authentication based on rfid-enabled identity document and gesture challenge-response protocol

Abstract

A method of using a user terminal to provide secure authenticated registration between a user and a third party, the method comprising: reading a chip to receive chip data stored on the chip (S); transmitting the chip data, via a network interface of the user terminal, over a network to an authentication server associated with said third party (S) and in response receiving via said network interface a notification message from the authentication server (S); determining whether the identification document is authentic based on the notification message from the authentication server (S), wherein in response to determining that the identification document is authentic, the method further comprising: outputting, via at least one output device of the user terminal, an authentication challenge to the user (S); receiving image data as a response to the authentication challenge (S); and transmitting the image data, via the network interface, over the network to the authentication server for authenticating the user with the third party (S).
