  • Patent number: 11336643
    Abstract: An anonymized biometric representation of a target individual is used in a computer based security system. A detailed input biometric signal associated with a target individual is obtained. A weakened biometric representation of the detailed biometric signal is constructed such that the weakened biometric representation is designed to identify a plurality of individuals including the target individual. The target individual is enrolled in a data store associated with the computer based security system wherein the weakened biometric representation is included in a record for the target individual. In another aspect of the invention, a detailed input biometric signal from a screening candidate individual is obtained. The detailed biometric signal of the screening candidate is matched against the weakened biometric representation included in the record for the target individual.

  • Patent number: 10243952
    Abstract: An anonymized biometric representation of a target individual is used in a computer based security system. The system receives a record of a target individual containing a weakened biometric representation of a detailed biometric signal of the target individual. The weakened biometric representation is designed to identify a plurality of individuals including the target individual when compared to detailed biometric signals corresponding to the plurality of individuals. The system obtains a detailed input biometric signal from a screening candidate individual. The system determines whether the detailed biometric signal of the screening candidate matches the weakened biometric representation included in the record for the target individual.

  • Patent number: 7822768
    Abstract: A system, method and program product for normalizing, sanitizing and disambiguating structured data. Structured data includes data stored in a database management system (DBMA), as well labeled files (e.g., XML data). An automated data enhancement processing system is provided, comprising: a system for ingesting data structured in at least one predefined database format; and a set of text analytics processes that treat the ingested data as unstructured, and generate normalized data represented and indexed by consistent, structured metadata.
