Methods for providing high-integrity enrollments into biometric authentication databases
First Claim
1. A system and method for the high-integrity enrollment of individual identities into biometric databases by controlling the process of enrollment comprising:
- a system for the Creation of Enrollment Applications;
a system for certifying the probable validity of the identity claimed by a prospective enrollee (applicant) to one of several levels of trust;
a system for the creation of authentication profiles, master enrollment records, and enrollment history records;
a system for the addition of said profile and records into an authentication database, a master enrollment file, and an enrollment history database, respectively;
a system for the periodic audit of the integrity of the authentication database and the authentication records contained therein;
a system for updating data related to enrolled identities;
a system for upgrading the level of certified trust associated with an identity in the authentication database; and
a system to allow the voluntary withdrawal of authentication record from the authentication database.

Abstract
Without control over the point of enrollment into biometric authentication databases, fraudulent enrollment is an expected consequence. Such enrollment fraud would minimize the potential benefits derived from the superior authentication capabilities offered, in varying degrees, by different biometric technologies. In a world where identity theft and fraud is rising along with the consequences of said behavior, a better enrollment system is needed. This present invention is intended to control the point of enrollment into biometric authentication databases, limiting said enrollments to only those identity/biometric data pairings that have been certified by this invention (process) to some level of identity-integrity. This present invention is further intended to allow a greater level of confidence in the identity-integrity of transactions authenticated with a higher level of certified trust than is available through other authentication methods, or even through biometric authentication provided by this invention at lower certified levels of trust.
