Patent attributes
Methods, apparatus, and processor-readable storage media for user authentication with acoustic fingerprinting are provided herein. An example computer-implemented method includes generating, in response to an authentication request from a given device, an instruction for an acoustic output to be emitted and recorded by the given device; obtaining the recorded acoustic output from the given device; creating an acoustic fingerprint by applying one or more signal processing algorithms to the recorded acoustic output; processing the acoustic fingerprint and one or more items of information pertaining to the given device against historical authentication data; and resolving the authentication request in response to a determination that the acoustic fingerprint and the one or more items of information pertaining to the given device match at least a portion of the historical authentication data.
