Abstract

A method and a system of electronically identifying and verifying an individual utilizing at least one biometric features of the individual is disclosed. The method includes the steps of activating an access apparatus with a means to capture at least one biometric feature of an individual in a secure manner using dynamic encryption, capturing the biometric feature of an individual wherein key features of biometric raw data are extracted, encrypting in a dynamic manner the biometric features, transmitting the encrypted data of the biometric feature to at least one server; and verifying the biometric features captured in the fruit step with a pre-stored biometric feature in the server. Wherein upon positive identification and verification of the individual access is given to an auxiliary means such as but not limited to access to secured doors, database, computer network and servers.

Claims19

Dependent claims

A method of electronically identifying and verifying an individual utilizing at least one biometric feature of the individual including the steps of:

enrolling an individual into a database including:
(a) inputting required particulars of the individual into the database and ascertaining the existence or otherwise of the particulars of the individual in the database, wherein the particulars include at least one of images and binary data, wherein the binary data include any representation capable of being stored in a binary form;
(b) capturing the biometric features of the individual wherein key features of the biometric raw data are extracted;
(c) encrypting in a dynamic manner the biometric features, the method of encryption selected based on factors including the computing power of a registration computer, the computing power of a server computer, and network bandwidth;
and
(d) transmitting the encrypted data of the biometric features to the server and storing the encrypted data in relation to the particulars of the individual obtained in step (a) above;
verifying an individual in the database including:
(i) activating an access apparatus with a means to capture at least one biometric feature of an individual in a secure manner using dynamic encryption;
(ii) capturing the at least one biometric feature of an individual wherein key features of biometric raw data are extracted;
(iii) encrypting in a dynamic manner the at least one biometric feature, a method of encryption selected based on factors including the computing power of a registration computer, the computing power of a server computer, and network bandwidth;
(iv) transmitting the encrypted data of the at least one biometric feature from the access apparatus to at least one server in the access apparatus or to at least one server spatially separated from the access apparatus, wherein in a first attempt the access apparatus will attempt to send the encrypted data to the spatially separated server and upon detecting a failure in the first attempt, the access apparatus will in a second attempt send the encrypted data to any other designated server in a network, wherein the designated servers are either servers spatially separated from the access apparatus or the servers in the access apparatus;
and
(v) verifying the at least one biometric feature captured in step (i) with a pre-stored biometric feature in the server in step (iv),
wherein at least one spatially separated server is located outside the country and wherein upon positive identification and verification of the individual access is given to an auxiliary means including access to secured doors, database, computer network and servers, and wherein the biometric features include fingerprint, retina, iris, palm print, face, handwriting, handprint, signature and voice recording biometric features capable of being captured by a scanner.
