SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ASSET AUTHENTICATION AND MANAGEMENT

摘要

An asset management system and biometric security method is disclosed. The asset management system monitors the operational status of living and non-living assets in the field using sensors fitted to, or otherwise associated with, the asset. The operational status of the asset includes proof of life and indications as to the death or destruction. Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals from living assets may be enrolled in a biometric system at one or more heart rates to permit the identification or authentication of the living asset. ECG signal assessments may be used to increase system performance.

1. A method of enrolling a living or non-living asset in an asset security system, the method comprising the steps of:
with a processing device, verifying the identity of the asset using at least one prior authentication factor; acquiring a signal, via one or more sensors, from the asset; transmitting the signal from the one or more sensors, via a transmission link, to the processing device; with the processing device, associating the signal with the identity of the asset; using the processing device to generate an enrolment template for the asset from the signal; and storing the enrolment template in an enrolment database.
