Abstract
In a system and method of completing a transaction over a network, a personal electronic device (PED) receives transaction information; captures biometric information from the PED user; and uses such information to identify if the user is an authorized user of the PED. If the captured biometric information identifies an authorized user of the PED, the PED: enables a first one of a pair of cryptographic keys stored on the PED corresponding to the identified authorized user; generates a digital signature for the transaction using the enabled first key; generates an authenticated transaction request using the received transaction information; and transmits the authenticated transaction request to a transaction approval center via the network. The transaction approval center uses the authenticated transaction request to complete the transaction; and the PED receives confirmation regarding the transaction from the transaction approval center.
