Abstract
Systems and methods for authentication are disclosed. A method for biometric authentication, includes: receiving a first attempt to validate an identity using biometric information; determining if the first attempt satisfies a first authentication criterion for authentication, wherein the first authentication criterion corresponds to the first attempt; if the first attempt does not satisfy the first authentication criterion, subsequent to determining that the first attempt does not satisfy the first authentication criterion, receiving a subsequent attempt to validate the identity using biometric information, wherein a second authentication criterion corresponds to the subsequent attempt, and wherein the second authentication criterion has a lower false acceptance rate than the first authentication criterion; determining if the subsequent attempt satisfies the second authentication criterion; and if the subsequent attempt does satisfy the second authentication criterion, validating the identity in response to determining that the subsequent attempt does satisfy the second authentication criterion.
