  • Biometric-based authentication in a nonvolatile memory device
    Patent number: 7389425
    Abstract: A biometric-based security circuit in which the user database, processor, and biometric map generation functions are all located on the same integrated circuit whose secure contents are inaccessible from external to the integrated circuit. Biometric data, such as a fingerprint, retina scan, or voiceprint, is taken from a user requesting access to restricted resources. The biometric data is transferred into the integrated circuit, where it is converted to a biometric map and compared with a database of biometric maps stored in a non-volatile memory in the integrated circuit. The stored maps represent pre-authorized users, and a match triggers the security circuit to send a signal to a host processor authorizing the host processor to permit the requesting user access to the restricted resources.
