METHOD AND SYSTME FOR ESTABLISHING TRUST OF IDENTITY

摘要

The present invention relates to methods and systems for establishing trust in an identity of an individual in a transaction with a transacting entity. Trust is based on secure biometric data such as a captured print. In one environment, an individual uses an identification device (100) at or near a terminal to carry out the transaction. For example, the identification device (100) may be coupled to the terminal by a wireless or wired link. The terminal is coupled over a network to an identity service provider and/or the transacting entity.
