Trusted biometric device
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for enhancing the security of informational interactions with a biometric device, comprising:
- pre-establishing an encryption relationship between a computing device and the biometric device;
generating a session packet, encrypting it, and transmitting it to the biometric device; and
receiving a biometric information packet, decrypting it, and making a determination, based on a content of a collection of information contained in the decrypted biometric information packet, as to whether or not to utilize a collection of biometric data contained in the decrypted biometric information packet.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for enhancing the security of informational interactions with a biometric device is disclosed. The method includes pre-establishing an encryption relationship between a computing device and the biometric device. An instruction is received to begin an authorization or enrollment session. A session packet is generated and encrypted. The session packet is transmitted to the biometric device. A biometric information packet is received and decrypted. A determination is made, based on a content of the decrypted biometric information packet, as to whether or not to utilize a collection of biometric data contained in the decrypted biometric information packet.
