System and methods for contactless biometrics-based identification

A method for facilitating secure enrollment in a secured system through use of biometric data, using a machine including a wireless communication device, comprising:

• entering identification information;
• positioning adjacent to the machine a guidance system comprising a biometric source attachment and a lens plate, the lens plate including a lens aperture and the biometric source attachment comprising a biometric source aperture formed by one or more bridge elements and one or more support elements, each bridge element positioned between two support elements;
• aligning the lens aperture to a camera lens of the machine;
• resting a biometric source on the one or more bridge elements of the biometric source attachment;
• capturing one or more images of the biometric source exposed within the biometric source aperture as image data;
• extracting identification component data from the image data;
• determining whether the one or more images were captured from a living individual;
• storing the identification component data as an enrollment password with the identification information upon determination that the one or more images were captured from a living individual;
• erasing the image data and the identification component data from the machine;
• and
• dispatching notice that secure enrollment has been completed.

A method for facilitating secure verification of individual identity through use collection of biometric data, using a machine including a wireless communication device, comprising:

• entering identification information;
• positioning adjacent to a surface of the machine a guidance system, the guidance system including a camera lens aperture and a rotatable guiding component;
• matching the camera lens aperture with a camera lens of the machine;
• rotating from a flush position the guiding component to an erected position perpendicular to the surface of the machine;
• using the guiding component to align a biometric source;
• capturing by the camera of the machine one or more images of the biometric source as image;
• determining whether the one or more images were captured from a living individual;
• extracting identification component data from the image data upon determination that the one or more images were captured from a living individual;
• converting the identification component data to an entry request password;
• attempting to match the entry request password with pre-registered biometric data;
• erasing the image data, the identification information data, and the entry request password if the entry request password matches with the pre-registered biometric data;
• and
• verifying the individual identity.
