A COMPUTER SYSTEM AND AN APPARATUS FOR USE IN A COMPUTER SYSTEM

摘要

A computer system for identifying a specific individual relative to said system using a biometric characteristic of said specific individual, comprising at least one apparatus. The apparatus includes a housing, a biometric sensor means for generating a first code and being mounted in said housing, and a controller means including a memory for storing the first code and a dynamic binary code conversion algorithm. The computer system includes a first database containing the dynamic binary code conversion algorithm. The controller means performs, when receiving a code from the biometric sensor means a comparison of the code with the first code stored in the memory and provided the comparison verifies the identity between the code and the first code, a generation of a first binary code by means of the dynamic binary code conversion algorithm and outputting the first binary code from said apparatus to the computer system, and the computer system generates, when receiving the first binary code, a second binary code by means of the dynamic binary code conversion algorithm and verifies the identity of the specific individual provided the second binary code matches the first binary code.
