Abstract
A system for checking the right to access to sensitive information is described, said checking being based on current biometric data of a person whose right to access to the sensitive information is to be checked. The system comprises a data carrier and a processing unit. The data carrier comprises a memory containing sensitive information, a signal processing means and a communication means. The processing unit is adapted to receive the current biometric data from the person and comprises a memory, a signal processing means and a communication means. The process of the processing unit preprocesses the current biometric data and transfers the same to the processor of the data carrier via the communication means. The process of the data carrier compares the received preprocessed biometric data with biometric reference data stored in advance in the memory of the data carrier to determine whether the right to access to the sensitive information exists. A data carrier, a processing unit and a method of checking, based on current biometric data of a person, the right to access to sensitive information stored on a data carrier are also described.
