Abstract
An authentication technique involves obtaining, by processing circuitry, a set of suitability factors from a user device of a user. The authentication technique further involves performing, based on the set of suitability factors and by the processing circuitry, a selection operation which selects a set of suitable biometric methods to apply during authentication from available biometric methods which are available to the processing circuitry for use in authentication. The authentication technique further involves applying, after the set of suitable biometric methods is selected and by the processing circuitry, the set of suitable biometric methods during an authentication operation to determine whether the user is authentic. Accordingly, poorly suited biometric methods can be ruled out (i.e., made unavailable for use by authentication).
