Abstract
The present invention discloses a system and methods for biometric security using hand geometry recognition biometrics in a transponder-reader system. The biometric security system also includes a hand geometry scan sensor that detects biometric samples and a device for verifying biometric samples. In one embodiment, the biometric security system includes a transponder configured with a hand geometry scan sensor. In another embodiment, the system includes a reader configured with a hand geometry scan sensor. In yet another embodiment, the present invention discloses methods for proffering and processing hand geometry scan samples to facilitate authorization of transactions.

21. A Radio Frequency (RF) payment device comprising:
-
an RF transponder configured to receive a device authentication code from an RF Identification (RFID) reader; a unique device encryption key corresponding to a device identification code associated with the RF payment device; a facial scan sensor configured to detect a proffered facial scan sample to create proffered facial scan sample data; and a device authentication circuit configured to use the unique device encryption key to encrypt the device authentication code and a device account code associated with the RF payment device to create an encrypted device authentication code and an encrypted device account code; wherein the RF transponder is configured to transmit at least one of the encrypted device authentication code and the encrypted device account code to the RFID reader. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A method for registering and using proffered facial scan sample data for facilitating a Radio Frequency (RF) transaction, the method comprising:
-
detecting a proffered facial scan sample at a facial scan sensor to create the proffered facial scan sample data; associating the proffered facial scan sample data with at least one of an RF device, a user identifier, or a transaction account; verifying the proffered facial scan sample data to activate the RF device and to confirm the proffered facial scan sample data to create registered facial scan sample data; receiving a transaction request from the RF device, wherein the transaction request comprises transaction facial scan sample data; and authorizing the transaction request if the transaction facial scan sample data matches the registered facial scan sample data. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)

38. An authorized sample receiver (ASR) configured to register facial scan sample data and facilitate a Radio Frequency (RF) transaction, the ASR comprising:
-
a biometric sensor configured to receive a first proffered facial scan sample to create first proffered facial scan sample data; means for creating registered facial scan sample data from the first proffered facial scan sample data if second proffered facial scan sample data associated with an RF device matches the first proffered facial scan sample data; an RF Identification (RFID) reader configured to receive a transaction request from the RF device, wherein the transaction request comprises transaction facial scan sample data, an encrypted device account code, and a device identification code; a plurality of device-specific decryption keys; and an authentication circuit configured to decrypt the encrypted device account code using a unique RF device decryption key selected from the plurality of device-specific decryption keys, wherein the authentication circuit is further configured to authenticate the RF device if the transaction facial scan sample data matches the registered facial scan sample data. - View Dependent Claims (39, 40)
