Abstract
A method of authenticating an identity of a user includes launching a user interface and obtaining biometric data of a user at the user interface. The method further includes comparing the biometric data of the user to stored biometric information of the user that was previously obtained during an enrollment process. A comparison result is generated and provided to a third party system documenting if the stored biometric information was satisfied, wherein the third party system is configured to utilize the comparison result to authenticate an identity of the user
Claims39
A method for authenticating an identity of a user, the method comprising:
- receiving biometric data of a user from a user interface at a server, wherein the user interface is associated with a third party system;
- comparing the received biometric data to stored biometric information, wherein the stored biometric information is stored in a secure database, and wherein the stored biometric information was previously obtained from the user during an enrollment process;
- generating a comparison result at the server, wherein the comparison result documents if the stored biometric information is satisfied;
- and
- communicating the comparison result from the server to the third party system, wherein the third party system is configured to utilize the comparison result to authenticate an identity of the user.
A method for authenticating an identity of a user, the method comprising:
- receiving biometric data of a user at a user interface;
- communicating the received biometric data from the user interface to a server, wherein the received biometric data is compared to stored biometric information, wherein the stored biometric information is stored in a database, and wherein the stored biometric information was previously obtained from the user during an enrollment process;
- receiving a comparison result generated at the server, wherein the comparison result documents if the stored biometric information corresponds to the received biometric data;
- and
- communicating the comparison result to the third party system, wherein the third party system is configured to utilize the comparison result to authenticate an identity of the user.
An identity authentication system comprising:
- a server configured to communicate with a plurality of computers coupled to a network, wherein each of the plurality of computers comprises a user interface configured to receive biometric data from a user;
- a secure database coupled to the server and storing user information, wherein the user information includes stored biometric information of the user;
- and
- a third party system configured to communicate with the server and with the plurality of computers;
- and
- wherein the server is configured to:
- compare the received biometric data to the stored biometric information;
- generate a comparison result;
- and
- provide the comparison result to the third party system.
An identity authentication system comprising:
- a server coupled to a database, wherein the database is configured to store user information that includes stored biometric information of a user, wherein the server is in communication with a third party system and a plurality of computers coupled to a network, and wherein each of the plurality of computers comprises a user interface configured to receive biometric data of the user;
- and
- wherein the server is configured to:
- compare the received biometric data to the stored biometric information;
- generate a comparison result;
- and
- provide the comparison result to the third party system, wherein the third party system is configured to utilize the comparison result to authenticate an identity of the user.
