Single Step Transaction Authentication Using Proximity and Biometric Input

This invention describes a way to make payments or access things using a personal digital key and your unique body features. You carry a small device, your personal digital key, which wirelessly sends some data. At the same time, you provide a biometric input, like a fingerprint, and if both your key and your biometric input are verified, the transaction goes through.

Why it matters: Filed before advanced secure element technology became more common in small, dedicated tokens. The claims for authenticating both the key and biometric input are now more feasible with improved hardware security modules and standardized secure communication protocols.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedCustom electronics, biometric sensors, secure wireless, software.
