First Claim
1. A system for authenticating a user, the system comprising:
- a biometric scanner to scan an input sequence of biometric identifiers;
a storage device to store a biometric identifier database;
an input module to receive the input sequence of biometric identifiers;
an access module to access the biometric identifier database and retrieve a secret sequence of biometric identifiers;
a comparator module to compare the input sequence of biometric identifiers to the secret sequence of biometric identifiers to obtain a result; and
an authorization module to, based on the result, allow access to a resource provided by the system.
