Claims
- 1. A method for facilitating biometric security in a transponder-reader transaction system comprising: detecting a proffered biometric at a sensor communicating with said system to obtain a proffered biometric sample; verifying the proffered biometric sample; and authorizing a transaction upon verification of the proffered biometric sample.
- 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said step of detecting further includes detecting a proffered biometric at a sensor configured to communicate with said system via at least one of a transponder, reader, and network.
- 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said step of detecting includes at least one of: detecting, storing, and processing a proffered biometric sample.
- 4. The method of claim 1, wherein said step of detecting further includes receiving a finite number of proffered biometric samples during a transaction.
- 5. The method of claim 1, wherein said step of detecting includes logging each proffered biometric sample.
- 6. The method of claim 1, wherein said step of detecting further includes at least one of detection, processing and storing at least one second proffered biometric sample.
- 7. The method of claim 1, wherein said step of verifying includes comparing a proffered biometric sample with a stored biometric sample.
- 8. The method of claim 7, wherein comparing a proffered biometric sample with a stored biometric sample includes comparing a proffered biometric sample with at least one of a biometric sample of a criminal, a terrorist, and a transponder user.
- 9. The method of claim 1, wherein said step of verifying includes verifying a proffered biometric sample using information contained on at least one of a local database, a remote database, and a third-party controlled database.
- 10. The method of claim 1, wherein said step of verifying includes verifying a proffered biometric scan sample using one of a protocol/sequence controller and a third-party security vendor.
