A method of assuring integrity of a personal information data base containing personal information provided by multiple users, the method comprising: (a) obtaining a user's personal information from the user; (b) obtaining a first set of physiological identifiers associated with the user; (c) storing, in a digital storage medium, a data set pertinent to the user, the data set including the user's personal information and a representation of the physiological identifiers associated with the user; (d) permitting a subject to modify information in the stored data set pertinent to the user only if (i) the subject provides a new set of physiological identifiers and (ii) it is determined, by recourse to the stored data set, that there is a sufficient match between at least one member in the new set and a corresponding member of the first set, so that the subject is authenticated as the user. |
