  • Patent number: 8949347
    Abstract: Systems and methods for electronically communicating messages between a sender and a recipient, including: means for composing a text, audio, or video message on a network device; means for sealing said message with the biometric identification of sender, where only a numeric representation of biometric information is stored for authentication purposes, not the biometric information itself; means for encrypting said message; means for sending said encrypted message over a private network, where no server to server duplication or store and forward protocol is used; means for tracking said sent encrypted message; means for informing the recipient of the message to take delivery of the message; and means for allowing the recipient to take delivery of the message after the recipient confirms his/her identification with biometrics, and after un-encrypting the message.

  • Publication number: 20110276638
    Abstract: The current Invention is a method to combine into a complete solution the following: Biometrics (initially a registered fingerprint scan), a separate and secure network and infrastructure, an email management system and additional email message format options. The solution provides improvements to: 1) sender and recipient identity verification, 2) security and privacy, 3) proof of delivery and 4) effectiveness in communications during the exchange of certified email messages and attachments. Improved effectiveness is communication occurs based on the ability to use any combination of text, audio and visual (video) email message formats in an integrated, coordinated process of communication with another email recipient.

  • Publication number: 20090021349
    Abstract: The current invention is a method to improve the integrity or identification theft of content, such as emails, websites, and software, for example, by revealing the identity of the participant. In particular, the method ensures the participant's identity by requiring biometric input unique to the participant, creating a program which converts the biometric information into a unique identifier, for example, and incorporating the unique identifier into content, such as the software, emails, websites, etc. for future reliability. The present invention allows users to know that the participant's identification be biometrically confirmed, if necessary.
