Abstract
A security system may be administered by interrogating a first user using a first security system that generates a user data set related to the first user's physiological characteristics. An access code may be determined based on the user data set. A range of activities may be enabled in accordance with the access code. A document related to the user action may be accessed so that a digital certificate may be embedded in the document using the user data set.
Claims38
A method of administering a security system, the method comprising:
- interrogating a first user using a first security system that generates a user data set related to at least one physiological characteristic of the first user;
- determining an access code based on the user data set;
- enabling a first user action in accordance with the access code;
- accessing a document related to the first user action;
- and
- embedding a digital certificate in the document using the user data set.
A security system comprising:
- a first security system structured and arranged to interrogate a first user and generate a user data set related to at least one physiological characteristic of the first user;
- and
- a first processor structured and arranged to
- determine an access code based on the user data set,
- enable a first user action in accordance with the access code,
- access a document related to the first user action, and
- embed a digital certificate in the document using the user data set.
A security program for controlling a computer, the security program comprising:
- a first security code segment structured and arranged to interrogate a first user and generate a user data set related to at least one physiological characteristic of the first user;
- a first code segment structured and arranged to determine an access code based on the user data set;
- a second code segment structured and arranged to enable a first user action in accordance with the access code;
- a document code segment structured and arranged to access a document related to the first user action;
- and
- a certificate code segment structured and arranged to embed a digital certificate in the document using the user data set.
A security system comprising:
- means for interrogating a first user using a first security system that generates a user data set related to at least one physiological characteristic of the first user;
- means for determining an access code based on the user data set;
- means for enabling a first user action in accordance with the access code;
- means for accessing a document related to the first user action;
- and
- means for embedding a digital certificate in the document using the user data set.
