1. Method for identifying and/or authenticating a user of a mobile device including an identification module for identifying the user and/or the mobile device, in a server application on the basis of fingerprints of said user, that are recorded through haptic input means, said method having the following steps:
- the user enters commands with said haptic input means, in order to move in a freely accessible part of a server, simultaneously, finger prints of said user are recorded through said haptic input means, at the latest when said user wishes to access a secure part of the server that requires an identification respectively an authentication, the user is identified respectively authenticated on the basis of said fingerprints, access to said secure part of the server is granted without explicit identification respectively authentication request if said user has been identified respectively authenticated in the previous step.

Abstract
Method for identifying and/or authenticating a user (1) of a mobile device (2) in a server (4) on the basis of fingerprints of the user (1) that have been read through haptic input means (21) of the mobile device 82) with a fingerprint reader in the mobile device (2), the method having the following steps:
- inviting the user (1) to perform selections in a menu of the server (4) with the haptic input means (21),
- simultaneously reading the user'"'"'s fingerprints through the haptic input means (21),
- comparing the fingerprints and possibly previously read fingerprints of the user (1) with reference fingerprints,
- repeating the previous steps until the user 81) has been identified and/or authenticated with a predetermined probability.

19. Server with a freely accessible part and a secure part, with:
-
a menu system wherein a user can move with the aid of commands at least in said freely accessible part, a comparator for comparing the user fingerprints recorded during a session with reference fingerprints, said menu system being designed in such a manner that the access to said secure part of the server is granted without explicit invitation for identification respectively authentication if said user has been identified respectively authenticated whilst moving in said freely accessible part on the basis of said comparator. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
