Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0190962A1] A method and device/terminal are disclosed for the positive identification ofan individual which finds particular use for the secure purchasing of goods orservices over a visual medium such as television, the Internet and EFTPOSsystems. The terminal is a point-of-sale terminal (6) which includes akeyboard (7), a screen (8), a fingerprint reader (9), a smart card readerassembly (10) and a printhead assembly incorporated within the card readerassembly (10). The operating software of the terminal (6) includes code todecrypt encrypted information read from the smart card (4). An individualwishing to undertake a secure financial transaction first obtains a smart card(4) which incorporates encrypted biometric data and financial data of thatindividual. At the point of intended purchase, the card (4) is placed in thereader assembly (10) of the terminal (6). The account details and encryptedbiometric data are read by the terminal (6). The appropriate fingerprint of theindividual is then taken at the fingerprint reader (9) of the terminal (6) fromwhich the encryption key is determined. The encrypted fingerprint data readfrom the card (4) is then decrypted using the encryption key just determinedand the thus-decoded fingerprint data from the card (4) is compared with thefingerprint data obtained at the terminal (6). If the thus-read fingerprint data isidentical with that decoded from the card (4), identification is deemed positiveand the financial transaction proceeds.
