BIOMETRIC VERIFICATION METHOD AND SYSTEM

摘要

A method of biometric verification is described involving interaction between a token and a terminal. The token stores, or has access to, stored user biometric data. The terminal has an associated biometric reader. User biometric data is captured at the biometric reader. The token then initiates comparison of the captured user biometric data with the stored user data to determine a match. The token provides a verification result to the terminal, wherein an action at the terminal may proceed if the verification result indicates a match between the captured user biometric data and the stored biometric data. Methods performed at the token and at the terminal are described, as are tokens and terminals adapted to perform the steps described.

1. A method of biometric verification, the method comprising interaction between a token having stored user biometric data held thereon or accessible therethrough and a terminal having a biometric reader associated therewith, the method comprising:
capturing user biometric data at the biometric reader; the token initiating comparison of the captured user biometric data with the stored user data to determine a match; and the token providing a verification result to the terminal, wherein an action at the terminal may proceed if the verification result indicates a match between the captured user biometric data and the stored biometric data.
