    Abstract: Without control over the point of enrollment into biometric authentication databases, fraudulent enrollment is an expected consequence. Such enrollment fraud would minimize the potential benefits derived from the superior authentication capabilities offered, in varying degrees, by different biometric technologies. In a world where identity theft and fraud is rising along with the consequences of said behavior, a better enrollment system is needed. This present invention is intended to control the point of enrollment into biometric authentication databases, limiting said enrollments to only those identity/biometric data pairings that have been certified by this invention (process) to some level of identity-integrity.
