<p>The invention relates to a security system for use with the performance of a restricted action that must be at least partially authorized by the use of a token that has an electronic memory, such as a smart card. When the token is issued to a person, in addition to having a usual unique code stored in the memory thereof, it has an electronic representation of a fingerprint of the person stored therein. Upon presentation, when initiating a restricted action, such as a financial transaction, in order for the restricted action to be authorized, a card reader must read the unique code, a fingerprint scanner must scan the person's fingerprint and a processor must compare the fingerprint scanned with the fingerprint stored in the token and identify a match.</p> |
