Abstract

The invention relates to a method, a system and a device for identification by means of an identification tag (3), in which a request to a control module (31) of the identification tag (3) is transmitted from an interrogation device via a contactless interface (36) of the identification tag (3), so that identification data stored in a memory module (32) assigned to the identification tag (3) is accessed by means of the control module (31), and that the identification data are transmitted via the contactless interface (36), body-specific identification data of the wearer (2) are captured and transmitted to a verification module (33) by means of a measuring device assigned to the identification tag (3) or a sensor (34) and/or by means of an analysis device (35), the transmitted body-specific identification data of the wearer (2) being compared with the identification data stored in the memory module (32) by means of the verification module (33), and the identity of the wearer (2) being confirmed by means of the verification module (33), and identification tag (3) being injected and/or implanted under the skin of the wearer (2). The identification tag (3) can be in particular an RFID tag and/or an NFC tag.

Claims

1-30. -30. (canceled)

31. An identification method by an identification tag, compromising

transmitting a request to a control module of the identification tag from an interrogation device via a contactless interface of the identification tag;

accessing identification data stored in a memory module assigned to the identification tag by the control module;

transmitting the identification data via the contactless interface;

capturing and transmitting body-specific identification data of a wearer to a verification module by a measuring device assigned to the identification tag or by a sensor and/or by an analysis device;

comparing the transmitted body-specific identification data of the wearer with the identification data stored in the memory module by the verification module and

confirming the identity of the wearer by the verification module,

wherein the identification tag is injected and/or implanted under the skin of the wearer.

32. The method according to claim 31, wherein the identification tag is an RFID tag.

33. The method according to claim 31, wherein the identification tag is an NFC tag.

34. The method according to claim 31, wherein the verification module is assigned to the identification tag.

35. The method according to claim 31, wherein the measuring device or sensor and/or the analysis device are integrated in the identification tag.

36. The method according to claim 31, wherein the identity of the wearer is confirmed by the verification module, if a probability of a matching of the transmitted body-specific identification data with particular stored identification data is above a predefinable threshold.

37. The method according to claim 31, wherein the identity of the wearer is confirmed by the verification module if the transmitted body-specific identification data match one-to-one with particular stored identification data.

38. The method according to claim 31, wherein the body-specific identification data comprise DNA and/or blood value-specific data.

39. The method according to claim 38, wherein the body-specific identification data comprise a DNA signature and/or a hash of the DNA structure.

40. The method according to claim 31, wherein the ion data transmitted via the contactless interface are encrypted by an encryption module.

41. The method according to claim 31, wherein the identification data transmitted via the contactless interface comprise authentication data for authentication in a mobile radio network, or IMSI. and/or MSISDN, and/or another access key.
