Data carrier e.g. smart card with personal data security, has storage element for encoded person-specific data based on biometric characteristics

摘要

Data carrier (10) has at least one storage element. On the storage element encoded, person-specific data (2), based on the biometric characteristics of at least one card user, is stored. Biometric characteristics are fingerprints for several fingers of authorized user, voice recordings or anatomical data. Sensor (1) on card detects current user's biometric characteristics to be compared with data stored on the card.
