An authentication system and method are described. The system includes a plurality of nodes in a networked architecture, the nodes being adapted to securely communicate with one another. At least one of the nodes is adapted to store a biometric identifier uniquely associated with a user, the stored identifier being used to authenticate the identity of a subsequently provided biometric sample at another of the nodes in the network. The use of a trusted network enables the authentication of users for partner application without compromising the authenticity or identity of a user's biometric sample. <IMAGE> |
