<p>A method of confirming the identity of a user includes processing biometric credentials, generating a user configurablc policy (88) including a plurality of authenticating entities (90), storing the user configurable policy (88) in a device (54), presenting (100) the device (54) to an authenticating entity (90) at an authentication station, and requesting (104) biometric (76) and personal data (78) of the user from the device data. The biometric data (76) corresponds to at least one biometric feature desired for authenticating the user and the requesting operation (104) is performed by a workstation (48) of the authenticating entity (90). Moreover, the method includes consulting the user configurable policy (88) in response to the requesting operation (104) to determine whether the requested biometric data (76) is permitted to be released from the device data, and releasing (108) the requested biometric (76) and personal data (78) from the device data to the one authenticating entity (90) when the default rule (94) associated with the one authenticating entity (90) permits releasing the requested biometric (76) and personal data (78).</p> |
