Abstract
A system for authenticating the identity of a subject comprises: means for receiving information on subject behaviour comprising one or more events, means for allocating confidence levels to the event or events comprised in the received behaviour information and for extracting an overall confidence level on the basis of the allocated confidence level or levels and processing means for deciding on the identity of the subject on the basis of the overall confidence level. The system may include a device for collecting information relating to one or more events forming part of the behaviour of a subject and for providing the information to a separate unit to determine the identity of the subject.
