Abstract

This document describes techniques and apparatuses enabling gesture-based authentication without retained credentialing gestures. The techniques are capable of determining an identifier for a credentialing gesture where the identifier can be reproduced on receiving a similar authentication gesture at a later time. The identifier for the credentialing gesture can be encrypted, sent to a secure authentication entity, and then, when an authentication gesture is received, an identifier for the authentication gesture can also be determined, encrypted, and sent to the secure authentication entity. If the secure authentication entity determines that the encrypted identifiers match, the user is authenticated.
