摘要

The invention relates to a system for verifying the identity of an individual by employing biometric data features associated with the individual, which system comprises at least one or more hardware components, an enrolment means, and a verifying means, wherein said enrolment means are arranged in deriving a first biometric template data, said first biometric template data being secret and associated with a first set of first biometric data features of said individual, and in receiving a further set of first biometric data features of said individual, and in deriving a further biometric template data associated with said further set of first biometric data, and wherein said verifying means are arranged in comparing the first biometric template data with the further biometric template data to check for correspondence, wherein the identity of the individual is verified if correspondence exists. The invention aims to provide a solution to the above identified drawbacks and thereto at least one of said hardware components is provided with at least one component specific data feature associated therewith and wherein said enrolment means are arranged in associating at least one of said component specific data features with said biometric template data.
