  • Publication number: 20190097803
    Abstract: Systems and methods of using data encryption to validate a biometric token within a transit system. One method includes sending, by a transit server, an encryption key to each of a biometric capture device and a portable electronic device. The method also includes capturing, by the biometric capture device, a biometric identifier of a transit user. The method further includes encrypting the captured biometric identifier using the encryption key, broadcasting a wireless signal containing the encrypted captured biometric identifier, and receiving a validation result indicating that the captured biometric identifier was matched to a registered biometric identifier by the portable electronic device. The method further include granting the transit user access to a restricted access area of the transit system based on the validation result.

  • Patent number: 10108618
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention(s) described herein enable a system that may rely on a biometric identifier entry validation system The validation system uses biometric methods such as facial recognition, palm veins, and thumb prints as an entry or passage token. The validation system associates a form of fare media such as a smartcard or other electronic payment method with the biometric identifier after repeated transactions where both the fare media and the biometric identifier are read. In this manner the biometric identifier becomes a biometric token that replaces the need to use a form of fare media. Accordingly, the biometric identifier user can be validated for passage without the need to carry a form of fare media and, in some cases, in different geographic locations.
