Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide methods and systems for authenticating an enrolled user of a biometric authentication and/or identification system having an exception mode, in which the enrolled user submits a temporary password during authentication. The temporary password is only generated if the enrolled user's identity is verified and the person authorizing a change to the exception mode submits a valid biometric identifier.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide methods and systems for protecting access to a licensed application using an application license file for a network application, stored on the application server, the application license file including an application identifier, wherein the application identifier is used to verify the license when access to the application is requested.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide methods and systems for securely transmitting a biometric identifier template across a network using a transport unit formed by appending a trusted time-stamp to the biometric template, and for authenticating such templates based on the time stamp. The method is applicable to fingerprint and other biometric identifier based identification and authentication systems.

The temporary password is only generated if the enrolled user's identity is verified and the person authorizing a change to the exception mode submits a valid biometric identifier.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a method and system for receiving feedback with biometric authentication by sending a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of a web-enabled feedback form to a user, sending the form if a matching server finds a match between a first biometric template derived from the user's biometric identifier and a reference biometric template associated with the user, and accepting the form if the matching server finds a match between a second biometric template derived from the user's biometric identifier and the reference biometric template associated with the user.

Abstract: In an enterprise biometric identification/authentication and migration system, a method and apparatus is disclosed for providing an identification reference image of a user by determining two or more Image Quality Index scores of a biometric identifier of the user based on two or more respective images received from two or more respective imaging devices, comparing the scores, and generating an identification reference biometric identifier image for the user with the imaging device that produced the image with the highest score.
