Abstract: A biometric file securing system including a computer processor assembly containing an item to be secured and depicted on a corresponding display operatively associated with the computer processor assembly as an item icon. An access control icon is also represented on the display of the computer processor assembly and is structured to be moved on the display onto the item icon resulting in a restriction of subsequent access to the item to only an authorized user identified by biometric comparison of a biometric identifier with a stored biometric reference data corresponding to the authorized user.

Abstract: A biometric authentification system and method including a biometric input device structured to detect biometric data of a fingerprint placed on a scanning surface of the biometric input device, a biometric data storage assembly structured to store fingerprint reference data corresponding to an authenticated user, and a biometric comparison assembly structured to identify two minutia points and a connecting pattern therebetween in the fingerprint data, utilizing the minutia points, the connecting pattern and/or pseudo minutia points defined from the connecting pattern as comparison characteristics of the fingerprint which it compares to corresponding characteristics of the stored fingerprint reference data.
