Multi-factor authentication using positioning data

This invention describes a security system that verifies a user's identity by checking if their device is within a specific, pre-defined secure location. To complete the authentication for sensitive actions like changing a password, the system also requires biometric information from the user, which must be provided via a separate, trusted device located within that same secure area.

Why it matters: While the concept existed in 2019, improvements in indoor positioning accuracy and the proliferation of dedicated, trusted IoT devices for biometric capture make the specific 'second device' requirement more practical now.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
