Abstract
An identity card comprises an easy-to-use, more specifically card-shaped, information carrier provided with an electronically readable memory capable of digitally storing personal user data, including data concerning the user'"'"'s physical features. The information carrier is installed in and can be removed from an input unit of a housing of comfortable dimensions. The housing has been provided with reading equipment which is capable of reading the personal data stored in the memory of the information carrier. Moreover, the housing has been provided with a screen for representing the data read.

8. A method for identification of a user, comprising:
-
obtaining personal characteristics data from the user; communicating data related to the obtained personal characteristics data to an integrated circuit (IC) card; comparing obtained personal characteristics parameter data, which is derived from the obtained personal characteristics data, with stored personal characteristics parameter data within the IC card; and providing a result that indicates if the stored personal characteristics parameter data matches the obtained personal characteristics parameter data, wherein personal characteristics parameter data is derived from personal characteristics data utilizing knowledge of a type of characteristic depicted in the personal characteristics data. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
