Abstract
The invention relates to a personal identification method based on requirements. An authentication checking system (1) thereby receives an authentication requirement (7) from a service provision system (5) and said requirement is analyzed and the required authentication level (9) is determined from the same. After activating (21) a detecting means (3) of a detecting device (2), a personal identifier is detected (22) and compared (23) to a corresponding reference feature (14) stored in a memory unit (15, 16). If the comparison matches, a release signal (17) is provided to the service provision system (5); if the match is incorrect (25) a further detecting means (3) of the detecting device (2) is activated and the corresponding process steps are repeated.

23. A method for query-based personal identification, comprising the following steps:
-
receiving an authentication query from an authentication checking system of a service provider system; ascertaining the required authentication level by the authentication checking system by analyzing the authentication query; activating a detection feature of a detecting device; detecting a personal identifier by the detection feature; comparing the detected identification with a corresponding reference characteristic stored in a memory unit; when there is a correct match between the detected identification and the corresponding reference characteristic, providing a release signal to the service provider system; when there is an incorrect match between the detected identification and the corresponding reference characteristic, activating a further detection feature of the detecting device and repeating the respective steps, wherein a reference characteristic of a personal characteristic is transmitted with the authentication query, and wherein the authentication level is ascertained by comparing the authentication query with a stored security hierarchy profile. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)
