Abstract
A computer system is provided for authentication of an individual at a client station (1) seeking access to a server station (2). The client station (1) obtains biometric data from the individual at the client station (1) and supplies the biometric data to the server station (2). The server station compares the biometric data with data from one or more records of enrolled individuals, and if the comparison is successful the server station (2) creates a random password, which is transmitted from the server station (2) to the client station (1). The client station (1) uses the password to authenticate the individual.
