27. A method for facilitating biometric security in a smartcard transaction system comprising:
-
detecting a first proffered biometric at a sensor to obtain a first proffered biometric sample, wherein said sensor communicates with said system;
verifying the first proffered biometric sample;
detecting a second proffered biometric at a sensor to obtain a second proffered biometric sample, wherein said sensor communicates with said system;
verifying the second proffered biometric sample; and
authorizing a transaction to proceed upon verification of at least one of said first and second proffered biometric samples. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)
