BIOMETRIC SMARTCARD SYSTEM AND METHOD OF SECURE TRANSMISSION

摘要

Secure transmission systems and security systems utilising biometric sensors are disclosed. A smartcard encoded with details of biometric data is read, and actual biometric data is sensed. The biometric data from the smartcard is then compared with the sensed biometric data. Access may be allowed if the biometric data from the smartcard and the sensed biometric data match. The process may involve verifying the biometric data encoded on the smartcard is correct. The smartcard stores the biometric data after a source of biometric data is scanned and the scanned biometric data is encoded. In a further aspect, secure transmissions are enabled from a smartcard reader. To do so, a signal obtained by the reader dependent on the smartcard is encrypted. The encrypted signal is transmitted to a remote location relative to the reader. At the remote location, the transmitted signal is translated to another format usable by a controller. Access is controlled by the controller dependent upon the translated signal.
