Personal authentication system, apparatus and method
First Claim
1. A remote authentication system for authenticating remotely located users of authenticable communication devices, comprising:
- a device authenticator for obtaining an authenticated device identity of said authenticable communication device, a user authenticator for obtaining a personal biometric measure from voice-transmitted from said communication device by said user, a database of biometric measures and device identities for allowing the personal biometric measure received at the user authenticator to be related via the communication device identity to a prestored personal biometric measure of a legitimate user of said authenticable communication device, thereby to authenticate said user, and an authentication output for producing a verifiable signal indicating successful authentication.

Abstract
A remote authentication system for authenticating remotely located users of authenticable communication devices, comprises a device authenticator for obtaining an authenticated device identity, a user authenticator for obtaining a personal biometric measure from voice transmitted from the communication device by the user, and a database of biometric measures and device identities for allowing the personal biometric measure received at the user authenticator to be related via the communication device identity to a prestored personal biometric measure of a legitimate user of the authenticable communication device, thereby to authenticate the user. A preferred biometric measure is a voice print and a preferred communication device is a mobile telephony device, whose device identity or CLI is authenticated upon log-in. Authentications can be user initiated or center initiated and do not require specialized equipment at the point of authentication.

11. A remote authentication system for authenticating remotely located users of identifiable devices, comprising:
-
a device authenticator for obtaining an identity of a user associated device, a user authenticator for obtaining a personal biometric measure from voice transmitted via a communication device by said user, a database of biometric measures and device identities for allowing the personal biometric measure received at the user authenticator to be related via the device identity to a prestored personal biometric measure of a legitimate user of said user associated device, thereby to authenticate said user, and an authentication output for producing a verifiable signal to indicate successful authentication. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method of remote authentication of a user, comprising:
-
obtaining an identity of an identifiable device, obtaining from a database an identity of a user associated with said identifiable device, remotely obtaining from said user a biometric measure, comparing said obtained biometric measure with a prestored biometric measure of said associated user, authenticating said users if said biometric measures match, and producing a verifiable signal to indicate successful authentication. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
