APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SECURED COMMERCIAL TRANSACTIONS

摘要

A transaction security code database and a method and apparatus for generating the transaction security code database. The transaction security code database is comprised of multiple transaction security codes, each transaction security code constituting a transaction code generated based upon a transaction initiated by a user, which is appended to or linked to a security code which is based upon a biometric sensor code generated by a biometric sensor from a biometric presentation of a biometric feature of the user.

1. Method for generating a unique transaction security code for a commercial transaction, the commercial transaction providing for the generation of a transaction code, the method comprising:
a) sensing, with a biometric sensor, a biometric presentation of a biometric feature of a user, the biometric sensor used being of a type which generates a unique biometric sensor code for the biometric presentation due to inherent uniqueness in the biometric presentation and a resolution of the biometric sensor; b) determining a unique biometric security code from the biometric sensor code; and c) appending or linking the biometric security code to the transaction code, thereby generating a unique transaction security code comprised of the transaction code and the biometric security code.
