Abstract
Methods and systems are described for improvements to authentication processes. For example, conventional systems may rely on password authentication or contact-based alternative authentication techniques that are impractical or infeasible in sensitive medical environments, during pandemics, or fail meet the health and safety needs of an increasingly health-conscious public. In contrast, the described solutions provide an improvement over conventional authentication systems and methods by enabling user authentication via contactless physiological biometric authentication processes, behavioral authentication processes, and passive data authentication processes, that do not require a user to remove personal protective equipment.
