Mobile identification system and method

摘要

A method and apparatus for authenticating an identification of a person provides that biometric information is obtained from the person and a portion thereof is extracted and stored on a data carrier adapted for being carried by the person. A remaining portion of the biometric information is stored on an identification system. For authentication, the person presents the data carrier and new biometric information is obtained from the person. A comparison is made between the new biometric information from the person, the portion of the biometric information stored on the data carrier and the remaining portion of the biometric information stored in the identification system.
