Abstract

A method for producing an electro-biometric signature allowing legal interaction between and the identification of persons utilizing biometric features. The method includes inputting a user'"'"'s biometric features in a pre-determined sequence and checking that no feature is entered repeatedly.

Claims

1. Method to perform a supplemented electronic biometric signature for legal identification and interaction of persons comprising an input of a users'"'"' data to set a profile of each one of said users, wherein said profile includes a user'"'"'s biometric traits, generation of a digital certificate, connection to a system having a database and expression of will, comprising the steps of:

a) input of user'"'"'s biometric traits in a predetermined sequence,

b) check that none of the traits is entered repeatedly,

c) set an input sequence to enter an emergency mode consisting of data and/or biometric traits,

d) generate a digital certificate,

e) segment the digital certificate,

f) store in the database a sequence, in which the certificate was segmented,

g) deliver one or more segments of the digital certificate to the user in a storage device,

h) identify which segments were delivered to the user and which segments are stored in the system,

i) connect the storage device and simultaneously enter at least one biometric trait through a device suitable for this purpose,

j) input of local time to access the system,

k) grant access to the system,

l) send segments of the digital certificate held by the user, biometric trait(s) entered and local time of access to the system,

m) verification of the segments of the digital certificate and biometric trait(s),

n) input of user ID and password into the system,

o) user ID and password validation,

p) request for expression of will or signature by means of random selection and solicitation, both in amount and type, of biometric traits stored in the database,

q) send the biometric trait(s) entered,

r) verification of the requested biometric trait(s),

s) authorization of the operation,

t) Request the user for confirmation, and

u) if previous step involves a new expression of will through document opening, then said document is edited to include at the margin of it a previously selected biometric trait(s).

2. Method to perform a supplemented electronic biometric signature for legal identification and interaction of persons comprising the input of users'"'"' data to set a profile of each one of said users, wherein said profile includes user'"'"'s biometric traits, generation of a digital certificate, connection to a database and expression of will, according to claim 1, wherein step a) input of user'"'"'s biometric traits in a predetermined sequence, may require a variable number of biometric traits.

3. Method to perform a supplemented electronic biometric signature for legal identification and interaction of persons comprising the input of users'"'"' data to set a profile of each one of said users, wherein said profile includes user'"'"'s biometric traits, generation of a digital certificate, connection to a database and expression of will, according to claim 1, wherein step c) set an input sequence to enter emergency mode, is done by entering a sequence of data and/or biometric traits.

4. Method to perform a supplemented electronic biometric signature for legal identification and interaction of persons comprising the input of users'"'"' data to set a profile of each one of said users, wherein said profile includes user'"'"'s biometric traits, generation of a digital certificate, connection to a database and expression of will, according to claim 1, wherein the device of step g deliver one or more segments of the digital certificate to the user in a storage device, is preferably a device capable of reading a biometric trait.

5. Method to perform a supplemented electronic biometric signature for legal identification and interaction of persons comprising the input of users'"'"' data to set a profile of each one of said users, wherein said profile includes user'"'"'s biometric traits, generation of a digital certificate, connection to a database and expression of will, according to claim 1, wherein when data entries do not match the data stored in the system within steps

m) verification of the segments of the digital certificate and biometric trait(s),

o) user ID and password validation and

r) verification of the requested biometric trait(s),

said system requests for the data again in a predetermined number of times.

6. Method to perform a supplemented electronic biometric signature for legal identification and interaction of persons comprising the input of users'"'"' data to set a profile of each one of said users, wherein said profile includes user'"'"'s biometric traits, generation of a digital certificate, connection to a database and expression of will, according to claim 1, wherein the system may block itself once a data request predetermined number of times is reached.

7. Method to perform a supplemented electronic biometric signature for legal identification and interaction of persons comprising the input of users'"'"' data to set a profile of each one of said users, wherein said profile includes user'"'"'s biometric traits, generation of a digital certificate, connection to a database and expression of will, according to claim 1, wherein a number of times of data request is specified during user data input in step a).

8. Method to perform a supplemented electronic biometric signature for legal identification and interaction of persons comprising the input of users'"'"' data to set a profile of each one of said users, wherein said profile includes user'"'"'s biometric traits, generation of a digital certificate, connection to a database and expression of will, according to claim 1, wherein an emergency mode input sequence may be entered at any time when the system requests data.

9. Method to perform a supplemented electronic biometric signature for legal identification and interaction of persons comprising the input of users'"'"' data to set a profile of each one of said users, wherein said profile includes user'"'"'s biometric traits, generation of a digital certificate, connection to a database and expression of will, according to claim 1, wherein all previous transactions are invalidated upon sequence to emergency mode entry.

10. Method to perform a supplemented electronic biometric signature for legal identification and interaction of persons comprising the input of users'"'"' data to set a profile of each one of said users, wherein said profile includes user'"'"'s biometric traits, generation of a digital certificate, connection to a database and expression of will, according to claim 1, wherein the system may display a predetermined message upon sequence to emergency mode entry.
