Random biometric authentication methods and systems
First Claim
1. A method for biometrically securing access to an electronic system, said method comprising the steps of:
- prompting a user to input to said electronic system at least one biometric attribute randomly selected from a user profile containing biometric attributes of said user; and
permitting said user to perform a user-desired activity, if at least one biometric attribute input by said user to said electronic system matches said at least one biometric attribute randomly selected from said user profile.

Abstract
Methods and systems for biometrically securing access to electronic systems. A user prompted to input to the electronic system at least one biometric attribute randomly selected from a user profile containing biometric attributes of the user. A user may be prompted to input such a biometric sample through a user interface integrated with the electronic system. A user may be permitted to perform a user-desired activity, such as accessing an ATM machine, particular data, or entry to a secure area, if at least one biometric attribute input by the user to the electronic system matches at least one biometric attribute randomly selected from the user profile. A user profile may be generally accessible from a server through the electronic system. A user profile may also be accessible from a biometric broker through the electronic system over a secure network connection. A user profile may also be accessible from a hand held device, such as a smart card, wireless PDA or wireless communication device.
