Abstract: A method of authenticating a user includes using at least one computer and connected scanner to obtain biometric measurements of a plurality of biometric parameters of the user. The parameters are stored as templates for comparison, as well as a sequence in which the plurality of biometric parameters are to be scanned in order to perform a valid authentication. Authentication is determined by comparing each biometric parameter submitted with the stored biometric templates, to determine if each biometric parameter matches a stored template. In addition, the sequence with which each matched template was presented is identified, and this sequence is compared with the stored sequence. If a predetermined number of biometric parameters match, and a predetermined number of elements in a sequence match, the user is authenticated.
