1. A computerized identity matching management method for regulating the issue of secure assets, the method comprising:
- identifying an asset having a unique classification identifier;
identifying an issuer of the asset; and
identifying a receiver of the asset, wherein identifying the issuer and identifying the receiver each comprise;
a management computer. receiving a request to initiate the capture process from a capture apparatus waiting to commence a capture process of a biometric of the issuer or the receiver;
the management computer responding to the request by returning a message to the capture apparatus, the message comprising a unique code, wherein receipt of the message comprising the code at the capture apparatus causes initiation of the capture process;
the capture apparatus encoding a captured biometric of the issuer or of the receiver;
the management computer, after returning the message, receiving the encoded captured biometric; and
the management computer decoding the captured biometric and initiating a matching process to find a match for the decoded captured biometric against stored records and generating an identification code representative of the issuer or of the receiver of the asset when a match is found;
retrieving a privilege of the receiver to determine whether the privilege matches an an asset classification identifier of the asset; and
, if a match is determinedissuing the asset and recording information to form a use record relating to the issue of the asset.

1. A computerized identity matching management method for regulating the issue of secure assets, the method comprising:
-
identifying an asset having a unique classification identifier; identifying an issuer of the asset; and identifying a receiver of the asset, wherein identifying the issuer and identifying the receiver each comprise; a management computer. receiving a request to initiate the capture process from a capture apparatus waiting to commence a capture process of a biometric of the issuer or the receiver; the management computer responding to the request by returning a message to the capture apparatus, the message comprising a unique code, wherein receipt of the message comprising the code at the capture apparatus causes initiation of the capture process; the capture apparatus encoding a captured biometric of the issuer or of the receiver; the management computer, after returning the message, receiving the encoded captured biometric; and the management computer decoding the captured biometric and initiating a matching process to find a match for the decoded captured biometric against stored records and generating an identification code representative of the issuer or of the receiver of the asset when a match is found; retrieving a privilege of the receiver to determine whether the privilege matches an an asset classification identifier of the asset; and
, if a match is determinedissuing the asset and recording information to form a use record relating to the issue of the asset. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

8. A computerized identity matching management method for regulating the return of secure assets, the method comprising:
-
identifying an asset having a unique classification identifier; identifying a receiver who seeks to return the asset, identifying the receiver comprising; management computer receiving a request to initiate the capture process, from a capture apparatus waiting to commence a capture process of a biometric of the receiver; the management computer responding to the request by returning a message to the capture apparatus, the message comprising a unique code, wherein receipt of the message comprising the code at the capture apparatus causes initiation of the capture process; the capture apparatus encoding a captured biometric of the receiver; the management computer, after returning the message, receiving the encoded captured biometric; and the management computer decoding the captured biometric and initiating a matching process to find a match for the decoded captured biometric against stored records and generating an identification code representative of the receiver when a match is found; retrieving a privilege of the receiver to determine whether the privilege matches an asset classification identifier of the asset; and
, if a match is determinedretrieving the asset from the receiver and recording information to form a use record relating to the retrieval of the asset. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computerized identity matching management system for regulating the issue of, or the return of, secure assets, the system comprising:
-
a data depository configured to store records of assets each asset having a unique asset classification identifier and to store a record of receivers and a privilege for each receiver; an asset identifier configured to identify the asset to be issued or to be returned; a computer programmed to; receive a request to initiate a capture process from a capture apparatus waiting to commence a capture process of a biometric so as to identify a receiver who is requesting the issue of an asset or the return of an asset; respond to the request by returning a message to the capture apparatus, the message comprising a unique code, wherein receipt of the message comprising the code at the capture apparatus causes initiation of the capture process; after returning the message, receive a captured biometric from the capture apparatus encoded with the code; and to decode the captured biometric; and an authentication server configured to perform a matching process to find a match for the decoded captured biometric against stored records and to generate an identification code representative of the receiver who is requesting the issue of an asset or the return of an asset when a match is found, the server further configured to retrieve the privilege of the receiver to determine whether the privilege matches the asset classification identifier, and if a match is determined to form a use record relating to the issue of the asset or the return of the asset. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. An electronic message for transmission from a biometric capture apparatus to a computer during a computerized identity matching process for regulating the issue of an asset or the return of an asset, the electronic message comprising a captured image of a potential receiver of the asset or a potential returner of the asset, the captured image encoded with a unique code obtained from the computer.
