Patent Images
1. A method of adding biometric security to a communication for a transaction initiated from a remote computer and processed by a central server, comprising the steps of:
- sending a request for traditional security information for an entity from the central computer to the remote computer;
receiving traditional security information for the entity at the central computer from the remote computer;
receiving at the central computer a request for a transaction for the specific entity from the remote computer;
sending from the central computer to the remote computer a request to enter a biometric for the specific entity;
receiving the biometric for the specific entity from the remote computer;
comparing the biometric for the specific entity received from the remote computer with biometric enrollment information stored in a memory, wherein the biometric enrollment information had been previously obtained; and
, executing the transaction in response to the biometric for the specific entity received from the remote computer matching the biometric enrollment information stored in the memory.

10. A method of enrolling an individual into a biometric security system for using biometric security in a communication for a transaction initiated from a remote computer and processed by a central server, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving at the central server a request to enroll a specific entity in the biometric security system from the remote computer;
sending from the central server to the remote computer a request to enter a biometric for the specific entity, and a request to enter a plurality of security answers to a plurality of security questions;
receiving at the central server a plurality of answers to the plurality of questions and the biometric for the specific entity, from the remote computer;
receiving at the central server trustworthy information associated with the specific entity from a remote trusted source;
comparing the plurality of security answers to the trustworthy information; and
,enrolling the specific entity requesting enrollment into the biometric security system if the comparison of the plurality of security answers to the trustworthy information determines that the specific entity requesting enrollment is the same entity as the specific entity associated with the trustworthy information. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method of securely allowing a remote user to initiate a transaction on a secure server comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a request for a transaction from a remote system by a server hosting a web site;
receiving a biometric tag of a user of the remote system by the hosting server;
transmitting the biometric tag to an authentication server by the hosting server;
comparing the biometric tag of the user with biometric information in a database of enrolled users; and
,allowing the transaction to be completed by the secure server if the comparison indicates the user is an enrolled user. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
