Abstract

The present application relates to systems and methods using biometric data of an individual for identifying the individual and/or verifying the identity of an individual. These systems and methods are useful for, amongst many applications, more secure identification of high-risk individuals attempting to gain access to an entity, transport, information, location, security organization, law enforcement organization, transaction, services, authorized status, and/or funds.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A system for determining an identity of an individual, wherein the system:
a) retrieves individualized identification information of the individual comprising an individualized biometric data of at least a first class selected from a fingerprint scan data, a palm print scan data, a retinal scan data, a iris scan data, a hand vein scan data, a facial recognition scan data, or a body geometry scan data and a first individualized identification hash comprising the individualized biometric data of the first class and the individualized biometric DNA data of a second class wherein the individualized biometric data of the second class is a DNA data selected from the group consisting of a STR profile, a SNP profile, an INDEL profile, and an Alu element;
b) connects to at least one remote interrogation database comprising a plurality of interrogation biometric DNA data of the second class;
c) interrogates the at least one interrogation database wherein each of the plurality of interrogation biometric DNA data of the second class is hashed together with the individualized biometric data of the first class to form a plurality of interrogation database identification hashes;
d) compares each of the plurality of interrogation database identification hashes to the first individualized identification hash; and
e) reports whether a match of any of the plurality of database identification hashes to the first individualized identification is identified.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising an identification card comprising the individualized identification information of the individual.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the individualized biometric data of the first class is a fingerprint data or a retinal scan data.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the individualized biometric data of the first class is an iris scan data.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein when a class of individualized biometric data is a DNA data, then the DNA biometric data is stored in a hashed form, wherein the hash is a one-way hash.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
a) read the first class of individualized biometric data at a point of contact; and
b) confirm the first class of individualized biometric data at the point of contact.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the individualized biometric data of the at least a first class further comprises a third or more class of biometric data selected from the group consisting of a fingerprint scan data, iris scan data, retinal scan data, facial recognition scan data, and body geometry scan data and a DNA data, wherein the DNA data is selected from the group consisting of a STR profile, a SNP profile, an INDEL profile, and an Alu element.
