Abstract: A method for recognizing and/or identifying a user (9) with a chip (C) in an electronic identity object storing a digital identity (24), the method comprising steps of: —establishing a wireless or electrical connection between the electronic identity object (C) and a verification terminal (T); —verifying, in the electronic identity object, if the verification terminal is authorized to communicate with the electronic identity object (C), and in response of a positive verification sharing a secret (K): using the shared secret (K) for establishing an encrypted symmetric data link (5) between the electronic identity object and the verification terminal (T); transmitting, through the encrypted data link (5), said digital identity (24) stored in the electronic identity object to the verification terminal (T); and verifying in the verification terminal (T) the authenticity of said digital identity (24).

Abstract: A method for controlling access of users to desktops, comprising: 1. a user enters a login; 2. an organization server verifies if the user is authorized to access the desktop, and returns a pseudo of the user; 3. the user scans a pattern of fingerveins of one finger with a biometric scanner comprising cameras at different angles; 4. a file corresponding to said images is encrypted by said biometric scanner (B) with a public key of a biometric server and signed with a private key of said biometric scanner, and sent to the desktop; 5. the desktop forwards said file to said biometric server; 6. the biometric server decrypts the file, verifies the signature of the biometric scanner, and matches the received images with reference images associated with said pseudo; 7. the biometric server decides if the recognition succeeded, failed, or if an additional scan is needed.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method and a biometric acquisition device for biometric vascular recognition and/or identification. The method comprising a step of capturing a plurality of veins images (116, 117, 118) of supposed subcutaneous veins (21) of a same inspecting portion (20) of a presented entity (2) from various converging orientations (113, 114, 115). The method further comprises a step of determine if said entity is a spoof based on estimated likelihood that said supposed subcutaneous veins within said plurality of veins images (116, 117, 118) are likely projections of solid veins (120).
