Abstract
A sound-based method and system of performing an authentication of a person in order to permit access to a secured resource is disclosed. The system and method are configured to collect audio data from an end-user in real-time that corresponds to ambient sounds for their alleged location. The audio data is compared to verified audio data for the actual location. The system can determine whether there is a match between the user audio data and audio data previously collected and stored in a database or obtained from an audio service provider. If there is a match, the system verifies an identity of the person and can further be configured to automatically grant the person access to one or more services, features, or information for which he or she is authorized.
