METHOD AND SYSTEM OF AUTHENTICATION ON AN OPEN NETWORK

摘要

A system for authentication over an open network includes at least a first endpoint on the open network and a second endpoint on the open network that require authentication of a transaction therebetween. A transaction authority communicates with the first endpoint and the second endpoint via the open network. An ATM network is accessible by the authentication authority for authenticating the first and the second endpoint within the ATM network. A biometric network is accessible by the authentication authority for authenticating the first and the second endpoint within the biometric network. The transaction authority extends the authorization capabilities of the ATM network to the first and the second endpoints via the open network to provide authentication of the first and the second endpoints and also extends the authorization capabilities of the biometric network to the first and the second endpoints via the open network to provide authentication of the first and the second endpoints.
