Abstract
A system for authenticating individuals traveling to and from various destinations at various times. Personal identity and travel privilege verification are coordinated for several modes of transportation, including aircraft, boats, buses, cars and trains. Travel privileges are considered to be the ability to leave the current location, travel to the desired location, travel at specific times, and use specific forms of transportation. The system specifically provides operator privilege verification, allowing individuals to receive vehicle operator privileges. These privileges are evaluated upon the individual'"'"'s application, and are periodically updated at the discretion of the controlling institution.
The system provides for verification of vehicle operator privileges while the vehicle is in transit, and an apparatus for docking the secure authentication apparatus within the vehicle.

21. A system for ensuring the identity and travel privileges of potential travelers, comprising:
-
a. at least one institution for researching and recording an identity and at least one travel privilege for individuals; b. at least one database maintained by the institution for associating identified individuals'"'"' names, an assigned asymmetric key pair, and the at least one travel privilege, said at least one travel privilege including; i. at least one destination restriction; ii. at least one date and time restriction; iii. at least one mode of transportation restriction; iv. at least one operator restriction; and v. an expiration date for each at least one travel privilege; c. at least one travel privilege certificate associated with the at least one travel privilege and further associated with an identified individual; and d. at least one personal identification device including a means for authenticating at the personal identification device the identified individual based on a biometric, the personal identification device configured such that the biometric is not output from the personal identification device. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)

24. A processor-readable medium located at a personal identification device and storing instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform the following method:
-
authenticating, at a personal identification device, a biometric input from a user based on a biometric template stored at the personal identification device and associated with the user without sending the biometric template from the personal identification device; and sending a request for a travel permission information from the personal identification device when the biometric input from the user is authenticated. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)

38. A processor-readable medium located at a processor device and storing instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform the following method:
-
receiving a request for a travel permission information from a personal identification device associated with a user, the request including an acknowledgement of an authentication of the biometric information of the user performed at the personal identification device without the biometric information of the user being sent from the personal identification device, the acknowledgement excluding biometric information; and sending the travel permission information associated with the user based on the acknowledgement, the travel permission information being encrypted based on an asymmetric key pair. - View Dependent Claims (39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46)
