SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AN INCREMENTAL, REVERSIBLE AND DECENTRALIZED BIOMETRIC IDENTITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for an identity management system capable of being deployed incrementally, comprising:
- performing, by a biometric processing engine executing on at least one server, biometric matching between a first plurality of records from a first database and a second plurality of records from a second database, the first database and the second database comprising financial-related or criminal-related databases established independently of each other, wherein each record from the first and second pluralities of records comprises a biometric record, and a corresponding identifier implemented to be unique across databases including the first and second databases;
determining, by the biometric processing engine, that a first biometric record of a first record from the first database and a second biometric record of a second record from the second database, are from a same individual, the first record comprising a first unique identifier and the second record comprising a second unique identifier;
maintaining, by a records arbitrator, in a poly-unique identity table on a storage device responsive to the determination, a link between the first unique identifier of the first record from the first database, and the second unique identifier of the second record from the second database; and
providing, by the records arbitrator via one or more network interfaces to the first and second databases, in response to receiving a request identifying the first unique identifier or the second unique identifier, access to information about the individual linked to or stored with the first record of the first database, and information about the individual linked to or stored with the second record of the second database, according to the link maintained in the poly-unique identity table.

Abstract
This disclosure describes methods and systems for a biometric identity management system capable of being deployed incrementally one organization at a time, and also reversibly, such that any organization can unsubscribe at any time. A biometric processing engine can perform biometric matching between records from a first database and a second database, whereby the databases have been established independently of each other. Each record comprises a biometric record and a corresponding identifier unique across databases. If a biometric record of a first record and a biometric record of a second record are from a same individual, the first record comprising a first unique identifier and the second record comprising a second unique identifier are linked. Using the first or second unique identifiers, access to information about the individual linked to both the first record in the first database and the second record in the second database is provided.

11. A system for decentralized identity management, that is capable of being deployed incrementally, the system comprising:
-
a biometric processing engine executing on at least one server, the biometric processing engine configured to; perform biometric matching between a first plurality of records from a first database and a second plurality of records from a second database, the first database and the second database comprising financial-related or criminal-related databases established independently of each other, wherein each record from the first and second pluralities of records comprises a biometric record, and a corresponding identifier implemented to be unique across databases including the first and second databases; determine that a first biometric record of a first record from the first database and a second biometric record of a second record from the second database, are from a same individual, the first record comprising a first unique identifier and the second record comprising a second unique identifier; one or more network interfaces to the first and second databases; and a records arbitrator configured to; maintain, responsive to the determination, in a poly-unique identity table on a storage device, a link between the first unique identifier of the first record from the first database, and the second unique identifier of the second record from the second database; and provide, via the one or more network interfaces, in response to receiving a request identifying the first unique identifier or the second unique identifier, access to information about the individual linked to or stored with the first record of the first database, and information about the individual linked to or stored with the second record of the second database, according to the link maintained in the poly-unique identity table. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
