Abstract: Methods and systems for biometric identification. Identification accuracy confidence is improved in one-to-many biometric matching by determining the mobile devices present in the area of the subject-to-be-identified, and determining the set of people associated with the mobile devices. Biometric profiles may be filtered using the set of people determined to be in the location of the subject-to-be-identified based on mobile device presence. The resulting subset provides higher confidence identification if a match is found with a profile belonging to a member of the subset.

Abstract: A method for transmitting digital data to a recipient via a communications network includes providing digital data and digitally signing the digital data using N cryptographic keys. Each of the N cryptographic keys is associated with a same sender of the digital data, and N>1. The recipient receives the digital data and verifies the digital signature using N cryptographic keys associated with the N cryptographic keys used to sign the digital data. In dependence upon verifying the digital signature, the recipient accepts the digital data as being authentic.

Abstract: In accordance with the invention there is provided a method of authorizing an individual comprising the steps of: receiving authorization data from the individual; determining based on previously stored data, at least a processor for performing an authorization process; using the at least a processor and the authorization data, performing the authorization process to one of authorize an individual and fail to authorize the individual; and wherein stored data results in different determined processors for different authorization operations and wherein at least some of the authorization operations are determined for performance by a same server processor.

Abstract: A biometric sensing device includes sensing arrays for sensing a biological surface swiped across the sensing arrays in an arbitrary direction. This device allows for simultaneously sensing different features of a biological surface where the features have the smallest distinguishable features of different size. Using the technique of interleaving partial images, the resolution of the biometric sensing device is increased. Therefore, a small and robust biometric sensing device is provided, which allows for sensing high resolution images.
