First Claim
1. A method of providing for a server on a computer, comprising a. providing for communicating with a first client, wherein said first client performs a method comprising:
- i. providing for reading a portable memory element;
ii. providing for obtaining passcode information necessary to access data from said portable memory element; and
iii. providing for authenticating said passcode information;
b. providing for providing a first passkey to said first client if said passcode information is authentic for said portable memory element;
c. providing for communicating with at least one second client;
d. providing for receiving a second passkey from said at least one second client; and
e. providing for enabling said at least one second client to communicate with said first client if said second passkey corresponds to said first passkey.

Abstract
A portable memory element containing encrypted data is operatively connected to a first client, and the person associated with the portable memory element provides passcode information necessary to access the encrypted data, wherein the passcode information can be either alphanumeric or biometric, e.g. a fingerprint. The first client communicates with a server, which returns a passkey if the passcode information is authentic for the portable memory element. The first user of the first client then communicates, via a separate communications path, the passkey to a second user of a second client also in communication with the server, who then provides the passkey to the server. If the passkey provided by the second user is valid, the server provides for communication between the first and second clients, and enables the second client to access the portable memory element.

20. A Personal Identification Service server of a CORBAMED system, comprising:
-
a. a means for communicating with a first client;
b. a means for receiving a first signal from said first client, wherein said first signal indicates if said first client is authorized to access a portable memory element provided that said portable memory element is operatively connected to said first client;
c. a means for providing a passkey to said first client if said first signal indicates that said first client is authorized to access said portable memory element;
d. a means for communicating with a second client;
e. a means for receiving a second signal from said second client; and
f. a means for providing for said second client to communicate with said first client if said second signal comprises a second passkey that corresponds to said first passkey. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

40. A portable memory element, comprising a memory capable of being read from or written to by a computer provided that said memory is operatively connected to a first client computer system, wherein said memory is adapted to store passcode information as stored passcode information, and said memory provides for cooperating with said first client computer system that operates in accordance with a method comprising:
-
a. providing for communicating by said computer via a communication interface with a server;
b. providing for reading said portable memory element by said first client computer system provided that said memory is operatively connected to a memory interface device of said first client computer system;
c. providing for obtaining passcode information from a data input device operatively connected to said first client computer system, wherein said passcode information is necessary to access data from said memory;
d. providing for authenticating said passcode information by comparing said passcode information with said stored passcode information;
e. providing for receiving a first passkey from said server if said passcode information matches said stored passcode information;
f. providing for a first user associated with said first client computer system to provide said first passkey to at least one second user associated with at least one second client computer system; and
