An end user identity protection suite (IPS) is discussed. In one embodiment, the IPS includes a identity validation system to evaluate a security level of at least one identity tool, the identity tool not related to computer security but rather to the user's identity. In one embodiment, the IPS further includes a security signal logic to generate a security status signal indicating an overall security state of the user, the security status signal comprising a combination of the security levels of each of the plurality of identity tools.

Method and apparatus for an end user identity protection suite

A method and apparatus of using a token comprises receiving an indication of a presence of a nearby short-range terminal and waking up the token in response to receiving the indication. The method further comprises performing authentication between the token and the terminal, without requiring a user to directly interact with the token.

Method and apparatus for a token

A method comprising an indicator showing an overall security status of a user.

A method and apparatus for a third party authentication server is described. The method includes receiving a record ID for a user, and a one-time key generated by the server and encrypted with a user's public key by the server. The method further includes receiving the user's authentication data from the client, and determining if the user's authentication data matches the record ID. If the authentication data matches the record ID, decrypting the one-time key with the user's private key, and returning the decrypted one-time key to the client.

Method and apparatus for using a third party authentication server

A method of providing a certificate from a client to a server is disclosed. The method comprises receiving a request for a certificate from the server and forwarding the request to a biometric certification server (BCS). The method further includes receiving a biometric identification from the client and forwarding the biometric identification to the BCS. If the biometric identification matches a registered user on the BCS, receiving a certificate including a public key of the client certified by the BCS, and forwarding the certificate to the server, thereby identifying the client to the server.

Crypto-proxy server and method of using the same

A method and apparatus for fingerprint recognition is provided. A fingerprint is detected on a sensor. The fingerprint is digitized. A digitized background is subtracted from the fingerprint, resulting in a difference print. The difference print is matched with a database of fingerprint templates.

Fingerprint recognition system

A touchpad device comprised of a detection array having a detection surface, wherein the detection surface is configured to receive a fingerprint image. Additionally, a processing device is provided to receive the fingerprint image or image data from the detection array. The processing device configures the touchpad device to operate as a pointer control device or a fingerprint recognition device based upon parameters associated with the fingerprint image.

Configurable multi-function touchpad device

A method and apparatus for securing a secure processor is described. A plurality of spurious points are added to a biometric template. A received biometric data is matched to the biometric template. It is determined if the plurality of spurious points are present in the received biometric data. If the received biometric data matches the biometric template and the spurious points were not present in the received biometric data, access is granted to the secure processor.

Method and apparatus for securing a secure processor

A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for distributing information from a provider to a user over a network. User fingerprint data is obtained from the user and transferred to the provider via the network. The provider injects the user fingerprint data into an information access program and transfers the information access program back to the user via the network. Direct user fingerprint data is then obtained from the user and compared to the injected user fingerprint data. If there is a match, the user is enabled to use the information access program.

Method for using fingerprints to distribute information over a network

A fingerprint detection apparatus which includes a detection array having a detection surface, and a fingerprint platform configured to supply a plurality of partial fingerprint images of a fingerprint to the detection surface as the fingerprint is moved relative to the detection surface. The fingerprint detection apparatus also includes a processing device that is configured to construct a final fingerprint image from the plurality of partial fingerprint images supplied to the detection surface. A method of detecting a fingerprint image comprising the steps of: (1) supplying a plurality of partial fingerprint images of a fingerprint to a detection surface of a detection array as the fingerprint is moved relative to the detection surface; and (2) constructing a final fingerprint image from the plurality of partial fingerprint images.
