Abstract
A method, a system, and an apparatus for proving secure transmissions from a smartcard reader are described. A signal created by the smartcard reader dependent on the smartcard is encrypted. The signal comprises access information. The encrypted signal is transmitted to a remote location relative to the smartcard reader. The transmitted signal is translated at the remote location to another format useable by an access controller. An access mechanism is controlled using the access controller dependent upon the translated signal.

32. A method of providing secure transmissions from a biometric smartcard reader, said method comprising the steps of:
-
encrypting a signal created by said biometric smartcard reader dependent on a smartcard containing biometric data, said smartcard reader able to obtain biometric data directly, said signal comprising access information dependent upon biometric data obtained directly by said biometric smartcard reader from a user and said biometric data contained in said smartcard; transmitting said encrypted signal to a high security module at a remote location relative to said biometric smartcard reader; translating by said high security module at said remote location said transmitted signal to another format useable by an access controller; and controlling an access mechanism using said access controller dependent upon said translated signal. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44)

45. A system for providing secure transmissions from a biometric smartcard reader, said system comprising:
-
a biometric smartcard reader for encrypting a signal created by said biometric smartcard reader dependent on said smartcard containing biometric data, said smartcard reader able to obtain biometric data directly, said signal comprising access information dependent upon biometric data obtained directly by said biometric smartcard reader from a user and said biometric data contained in said smartcard, and for transmitting said encrypted signal using a communications protocol to a remote location relative to said biometric smartcard reader; a high security module for receiving said transmitted signal and translating said transmitted signal to another format useable by an access controller; and an access controller for controlling an access mechanism using said access controller dependent upon said translated signal. - View Dependent Claims (46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58)
