Voice over IP based biometric authentication
First Claim
1. A voice biometric system for verifying an individual'"'"'s identity, comprising:
- a receiver, within a communications network, configured to receive, from a remote communications device remote from and intermediate to the voice biometric system and a remote system, a voice biometric sample, from a party attempting to obtain a service from the remote system via the remote communications device, the service being provided contingent on authentication of the party as the individual; and
a processor, within the communications network, configured to compare the voice biometric sample received by the receiver to voice biometric information obtained from a storage to authenticate the party as the individual,wherein the authentication of the party as the individual is performed by the voice biometric system responsive to a selective request from the remote communications device.

Abstract
An individual'"'"'s identity is verifiable using voice biometrics. A voice biometric system includes a receiver configured to receive, from a remote communications device, a voice biometric sample of a party attempting to obtain a service from a remote system. The service is provided contingent on authentication of the party as the individual. The voice biometric system also includes a processor configured to compare the voice biometric sample received by the receiver to voice biometric information obtained from a storage to authenticate the identity of the party as the individual. The receiver and processor are provided within a communications network.
