  • Publication number: 20060095369
    Abstract: A system, device, and method for authorizing transactions of a plurality of applications. The system comprises a plurality of application servers operable to authorize transactions of applications and a plurality of user devices. Each transaction authorization is dependent upon receipt, by the authorizing server, of a transmitted code verified by the server as being an appropriate transaction code for the selected application. Each user device is operable to verify the identity of a user by comparing real-time biometric input from the user with data derived from biometric input provided by the user during device initialization. Each user device is further operable to select an application from among a plurality of applications and to emit a non-repeating non-guessable transaction code appropriate for the selected application. Emission of the transaction code is dependent upon biometric verification, by the user device, of the user's identity.
