Biometric management system

A system for verifying biometric information comprising

• A client computer
• A server computer
• A database connected to said server computer
• wherein said database stores information regarding a user in connection with the first hash value
• Wherein said client computer and said server computer are connected through a network
• A first biometric device
• Wherein said biometric device receives biometric information
• Wherein said first biometric device is connected to said client computer
• A first software application
• Wherein said first software application resides on said server computer
• Wherein said first software application processes initial biometric information by means of a hash algorithm to create a first hash value
• Wherein said first software application processes secondary biometric information by means of a hash algorithm to create a second hash value
• Wherein said first software application transmits said first hash value and said second hash value to said server computer through a network
• A second software application
• Wherein said second software application resides on said server computer
• Wherein said second software application processes said first hash value by means of a hash algorithm to create a third hash value
• Wherein said second software application processes said second hash value by means of a hash algorithm to create a fourth hash value
• Wherein said second software application compares said third hash value to said fourth hash value
• Wherein a user is verified when said third hash value is substantially identical to said fourth hash value
• Wherein a system administrator may vary the percentage of similarity required between said third hash value and said fourth hash value for such similarity to be determined substantially identical
• Wherein the system performs a response function when said third hash value is substantially identical to said fourth hash value
• Wherein a first user of the system may connect with other users of the system into a social network
• Wherein said first user of the system may limit said response function for first user controlled functions to other users based upon the level of social connection of said other users to said first user
• Wherein said first user may further limit said response function for first user controlled functions to other users based upon additional first user created parameters.

A method of biometric verification comprising

• Creating a user profile for a user
• Receiving initial biometric information from the user during an enrollment process
• Processing said initial biometric information by means of a first hash algorithm to create a first hash value
• Storing said first hash value in connection with said user profile
• Receiving verification biometric information from the user during a verification process
• Processing said verification biometric information by means of a hash algorithm to create a second hash value
• Comparing said first hash value to said second hash value
• Verifying said user's identity when said first hash value and said second hash value are substantially identical
• Wherein a system administrator may vary the percentage of similarity required between said first hash value and said second hash value for such similarity to be determined substantially identical.
