Abstract
Disclosed is a system for enrolling a user for facilitation of transactions using biometric authentication. The enrolling system includes an application program that is configured to: receive a user attribute; create an anonymous client reference (ACR) associated with the user attribute; and receive a biometric template. The biometric template has been determined from an input of a biometric. The enrolling system is further configured to create an association between the biometric template and the ACR.
Claims52
A system for enrolling a user for facilitation of transactions using biometric authentication, wherein the system comprises an application program configured to:
- receive a user attribute;
- create an anonymous client reference (ACR) associated with the user attribute;
- receive a biometric template, wherein the biometric template has been determined from an input of a biometric;
- and
- create an association between the biometric template and the ACR.
A system for facilitating transactions using biometric authentication, wherein the system comprises an application program configured to:
- receive a biometric template, wherein the biometric template has been determined from an input of a biometric;
- retrieve an ACR associated with the biometric template;
- and
- bind the biometric template to the ACR.
The system of any preceding claim, wherein the application program is further configured to receive a tokenised asset, wherein the tokenised asset is a tokenised representation of any of:
- a ticket, a voucher, a pass, and an identity card.
The method of any preceding claim, wherein the user attribute is any of:
- date of birth, organisation membership, scheme membership, voucher, ticket, loyalty card.
The system of any preceding claim, further comprising a database configured to store the ACR.
The system of any preceding claim, wherein the biometric template is determined by a biometric input device.
The system of any preceding claim, further comprising a server configured to receive the biometric template and transmit the biometric template to the application program.
The system of any preceding claim, wherein the biometric is a vascular pattern in a finger.
The system of any preceding claim, further comprising a computing device,
- wherein the computing device is configured to communicate with the application program;
- and
- wherein the computing device comprises a user interface.
The system of any preceding claim, wherein the application program is a cloud-based application.
A system for facilitating transactions using biometric authentication, the system comprising:
- a biometric input device configured to determine a first biometric template from a first biometric input;
- a server comprising a database and RAM, wherein the server is configured to receive the first biometric template from the biometric input device and the database is configured to store the first biometric template;
- an application program configured to receive a user attribute and a tokenised asset, create an ACR associated with the user attribute, receive the first biometric template from the server, and create associations between all of the first biometric template, the ACR, and the tokenised asset.
A method of enrolling a user for facilitation of transactions using biometric authentication, the method comprising:
- creating an ACR for the user;
- receiving a biometric template, wherein the biometric template has been determined from an input of a biometric provided by the user;
- associating the biometric template with the ACR;
- and
- storing the biometric template and ACR in separate databases, thereby allowing the retrieval of the ACR by provision of the associated biometric template.
A method of facilitating transactions using biometric authentication, the method comprising:
- receiving a biometric template, wherein the biometric template has been determined from an input of a biometric provided by a user;
- binding the biometric template to an associated ACR, wherein the ACR is associated with a user attribute, thereby allowing the user to access the attribute.
