An eVault system securely stores personal data and documents for citizens and allows controlled access by citizens and optionally by service providers. The eVault may be adapted to allow processes involving the documents to be carried out in a secure and paperless fashion. Documents are certified, and biometric matching is used for security. On effecting a match with a biometric identifier presented by a user, the user is allowed access to his personal eVault and to access a personal cryptographic key stored therein. One or more of these personal keys may be securely applied within the eVault to generate an electronic signature, amongst other functions.

Electronic data vault providing biometrically protected electronic signatures

A data storage system that protects privacy and ensures security includes a plurality of nodes in a networked architecture, the nodes being adapted to securely communicate and co-operate with one another to allow storage and retrieval of data. A single piece of biometric data is associated only with a blinded identifier and securely divided across one or more nodes, adapted for data storage. The data itself and the link to the original individual, from whom the biometric was acquired, cannot be obtained without the co-operation of two or more nodes.
