Abstract
An electronic data flash card with fingerprint capability is accessible by an host computer, and includes a processing unit connected to a flash memory device that stores a data file and reference fingerprint data of a person authorized to access the data file, a fingerprint sensor for scanning the fingerprint of a user and for generating input fingerprint data that can be compared with the stored reference fingerprint data, and an input-output interface circuit activated so as to establish a communication with the host computer. In an embodiment, the electronic data flash card uses a USB input/output interface circuit for communication with the host computer.
