Abstract
Associating a network packet with biometric information for a user includes identifying biometric identification information for a user of a network device, including an identifier of the biometric identification information in at least one of a header and a trailer of a network packet without including biometric identification information in a payload of the network packet, and sending the packet via a network, wherein the identifier identifies the network packet as having originated from the user.
Claims21
(canceled)
A method for associating a network packet with biometric information for a user, the method comprising:
- reading, by a sensor of a mobile device, biometric information from a user of the mobile device;
- determining an identifier of the read biometric identification information;
- including the determined identifier of the biometric identification information in at least one of a header and a trailer of a network packet without including biometric identification information in a payload of the network packet;
- and
- sending the packet via a network, wherein the identifier identifies the network packet as having originated from the user.
A system for associating a network packet with biometric information for a user, the system comprising:
- a biometric reader configured to read biometric information from a user of a mobile device;
- a biometric information identification function configured to determine biometric identification information for a user of a network device;
- a biometric information network packet function configured to include the determined identifier of the biometric identification information in at least one of a header and a trailer of a network packet without including biometric identification information in a payload of the network packet;
- and
- a network interface configured to send the packet via a network, wherein the identifier identifies the network packet as having originated from the user.
A system for associating a network packet with biometric information for a user, the system comprising:
- means for reading, by a sensor of a mobile device, biometric identification information from a user of the mobile device
- means for determining an identifier of the read biometric identification information;
- means for including the determined identifier of the biometric identification information in at least one of a header and a trailer of a network packet without including biometric identification information in a payload of the network packet;
- and
- means for sending the packet via a network, wherein the identifier identifies the network packet as having originated from the user.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a computer program, executable by a machine, for associating a network packet with biometric information for a user, the computer program comprising executable instructions for:
- reading, by a sensor of a mobile device, biometric information from a user of the mobile device;
- determining an identifier of the read biometric identification information;
- including the determined identifier of the biometric identification information in at least one of a header and a trailer of a network packet without including biometric identification information in a payload of the network packet;
- and
- sending the packet via a network, wherein the identifier identifies the network packet as having originated from the user.
