  • Publication number: 20180309750
    Abstract: A first electronic device comprises a transmitter, a secure processor, a secure memory, and one or more biometric sensors. The first electronic device is configured to communicate securely via the transmitter with a second electronic device that is separate from the first electronic device. The first electronic device receives first biometric information of a user via the one or more biometric sensors. In response to receiving the first biometric information, the first electronic device compares, via the secure processor, the first biometric information to second biometric information stored in the secure memory; and determines, based on the comparison, whether the user meets authentication criteria.

  • Publication number: 20100299002
    Abstract: A system for authenticating individuals traveling to and from various destinations at various times. Personal identity and travel privilege verification are coordinated for several modes of transportation, including aircraft, boats, buses, cars and trains. Travel privileges are considered to be the ability to leave the current location, travel to the desired location, travel at specific times, and use specific forms of transportation. The system specifically provides operator privilege verification, allowing individuals to receive vehicle operator privileges. These privileges are evaluated upon the individual's application, and are periodically updated at the discretion of the controlling institution. The system provides for verification of vehicle operator privileges while the vehicle is in transit, and an apparatus for docking the secure authentication apparatus within the vehicle.
