Abstract: A portable biometric device and system for secure communication and method for operating said system. The invention describes a portable biometric device (1) designed for improving security during internet transactions by means of a gateway device (20). Also described is a secure actuation device (40) which, together with the portable biometric device (1), allows the opening or closing of a set of access control elements in facilities to be controlled in order to block the entry of unauthorised persons. Also described are two systems for secure communication, which respectively comprise a portable biometric device (1) and a secure actuation device (40) combined with a portable biometric device (1), and methods for operating said systems.

Abstract: Symmetric encryption device for protecting information between two end points, including in unicast mode, comprising: a central microprocessor (1), two RJ45 connectors (2) and (3), a protective locking module (4), which may be disabled for a predetermined time by means of software, for deleting information contained in the microprocessor or for destroying the latter, based on switches, diodes, or motion sensors, external communication ports (5), (Bluetooth, USB, RF) and a 9V battery (6) for supplying power to the locking system and to the microprocessor, used in an online unicast communication, a local network environment, a Multicast communication, or a bridge mode configuration. The encryption method may be used for acting as key server, adding/removing new users, certifying that the member sending the keys is the key seer and authentication between users.

Abstract: The system is comprised of at least one pair of light sources (1;2;3) that emit pulsed electromagnetic radiation in the near-infrared zone; at least one pair of light sources (1;2;3) that emit radiation in the near-ultraviolet zone; at least one photodetector (4) with the absorption band located in the near-infrared zone, for detecting the pulsed radiation transmitted and reflected on the biological element, on the basis of the pulsed radiation emitted by the pair of light sources that emit the radiation in the near-infrared; at least one photodetector (5) with the absorption band located in the near-ultraviolet zone, for detecting the pulsed radiation transmitted and reflected on the biological element, on the basis of the pulsed radiation emitted by the pair of light sources (1;2;3) that emit the radiation in the near-ultraviolet zone; a control unit (8(c)) that interprets the pulsed radiation transmitted and reflected on the biological element; and a processing unit (8(d)) that determines if it is a living

Abstract: System for conducting remote biometric operations that includes a biometric data reading device connected to a personal computer and configured to send said encrypted data to a remote data authentication center for establishing a secure communications channel once the user identity has been verified by means of said biometric data. This invention refers to a remote biometric operations system that can be connected to a computer to carry out electronic banking and other similar operations with a certain degree of safety.
