Abstract
The present invention relates to a biometric identification method and apparatus, in which at least one biometric feature of at least one person is recorded with a reading device. The data thus obtained are coded and sent to a data storage medium via a cryptographically secured line and decoded there by a microprocessor located on the data storage medium. The decoded data are compared with the reference data stored on the data storage medium, and an identification signal is generated in case of a nearly complete agreement. The present invention further relates to a data storage medium and a reading device for use with a biometric identification method according to the present invention.
Claims12
A biometric identification method comprising the steps of:
- (a) recording at least one biometric feature of at least one person using a reading device;
- (b) coding at least one biometric feature recorded in step (a);
- (c) transmitting the data coded in step (b) to a data storage medium;
- (d) decoding the data on the data storage medium;
- (e) comparing the data decoded in step (d) with reference data stored on the data storage medium;
- and
- (f) generating an identification signal based on the comparison of step (e).
A biometric identification method comprising the steps of:
- reading respective biometric features from each of the at least two persons;
- transmitting the respective biometric features via a cryptographically secured line to a data storage medium;
- comparing the respective biometric features with reference data stored on the data storage medium;
- and
- generating an identification signal based on a substantial agreement of the data of the at least two persons with the corresponding reference data stored on the data storage medium.
A biometric identification apparatus comprising:
- means for recording at least one biometric feature of at least one person;
- means for coding the at least one biometric feature;
- means for transmitting the coded data to a data storage medium;
- means for decoding the data on the data storage medium;
- means for comparing the decoded data with reference data stored on the data storage medium;
- and
- means for generating an identification signal based on the comparison.
