1. A method of determining information concerning the identity of an individual comprising, the method comprising:

  • measuring at least one biometric of the individual comprising at least one bio-potential waveform generated by the individual'"'"'s heart,extracting a plurality of characteristics from the bio-potential waveform comprising any of an approximate location of a point of a P peak, an approximate location of a Q-point of a QRS peak system, an approximate location of an R-point of a QRS peak system, an approximate location of an S-point of a QRS peak system, an approximate location of a point of a T peak,using the characteristics to calculate at least one waveform parameter comprising any of an approximate location of an R-point minus an approximate location of a mid-point of a P peak, an approximate location of a mid-point of a T peak minus an approximate location of an R-point, an approximate location of an S-point minus an approximate location of an R-point, an approximate location of an R-point minus an approximate location of a Q-point, (an amplitude at an S-point minus an amplitude at an R-point) divided by (an amplitude at an approximate mid-point of a T peak minus an amplitude at an R-point), (an amplitude at an S-point minus an amplitude at an R-point) divided by (an amplitude at an approximate mid-point of a P peak minus an amplitude at an R-point), (an amplitude at a Q-point minus an amplitude at an R-point) divided by (an amplitude at an approximate mid-point of a P peak minus an amplitude at an R-point), (an amplitude at a Q-point minus an amplitude at an R-point) divided by (an amplitude at an S-point minus an amplitude at an R-point),comparing at least one calculated waveform parameter with at least one previously-acquired waveform parameter to generate a score, andusing the score to determine information concerning the identity of the individual.
