Abstract: The invention is directed toward a system and method of verifying the identity of a person based on biometric information. The system includes a server computer, a client computer, a software application, and a biometric device. The software application applies a hash algorithm to the biometric information input into the system, permitting the storage of a hash value. A user inputs initial biometric information and a hash value of that biometric information is stored. At a later time the user inputs verification biometric information. The system creates a second hash value and confirms the identity of the user by comparing the hash values. The system permits a user to create a social network with other users. A user may create a response function in the system which is performed when a second user is granted permission based on a level of social connection and confirms his identity.
