First Claim
1. A method for registering a first user device in a domain of a domain authority, the first user device being used by a user for accessing digital data of the domain, the method comprising:
- sending a request to join the domain, wherein the request is sent by the first user device to the domain authority;
submitting authentication information of the first user device making the request;
requesting biometric information of the user;
authenticating the biometric information of the user; and

Abstract
A method and system for registering a user device in a domain of a domain authority (106) using biometric information is provided. The method includes sending (402) a request (by the user device) to the domain authority for joining the domain. The user device making the request is then authenticated (400) and the biometric information of the user is then requested (406). Further, the method includes authenticating (412) the biometric information of the user. The security information of the domain is transferred (414) to the user device once the authentication of the user device and the biometric information are both successful.

16. A domain authority for registering one or more user devices in a domain of the domain authority, the user device being registered in the domain to access digital data, the domain authority comprising:
-
means for authenticating the one or more user devices, the authentication module further verifying the biometric information; and
means for administering that registers the one or more user devices in the domain, wherein each of the one or more user devices is registered only when the user device sending the request for accessing the digital data has been authenticated and the biometric information corresponding to the user has been authenticated. - View Dependent Claims (17)

18. A user device for accessing digital data corresponding to one or more domains of one or more domain authorities, the user device comprising:
-
an access means for sending a request for registering the user device corresponding to the access module and for proving the authenticity of the user device to a domain authority;
a user interface means for accepting biometric information from a user, the biometric information being used for registering the user device in the domain authority; and
a delivery means for delivering the biometric information for authentication, wherein, in response to the authentication of the biometric information by the domain authority, the user device is registered in the one or more domains, to enable access to the digital data. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
