Biometric identification system using biometric images and copy protect code stored on a magnetic stripe and associated methods

摘要

The system and method store biometric information on a token having a magnetic storage medium. A biometric image is captured, biometric data is produced and a copy protect code is generated. The biometric data and copy protect code are stored on the magnetic storage medium of the token for subsequent use in verifying an authorized user of the token. The copy protect code prevents data from being altered on the first or second tracks of the medium, and prevents biometric data from being copied from one token/card to another.
