The methods and systems for coordinating the travel itineraries of multiple travelers, who are leaving from more than one origin location, but are arriving at the same destination location, provide automated techniques for determining which itineraries for each traveler best meets the specified criteria for the trip. For example, a travel organizer may specify certain travel criteria for a trip, such as the relative importance of the travel schedules versus the price. A set of suggested travel itineraries that most closely meet the specified criteria are then provided, in addition to the amount of time between when any two travelers arrive at and / or leave from the destination location, and the price. Furthermore, the travel coordination techniques provide flexibility by allowing replacement of one or more of the suggested itineraries with other possible itineraries and recalculation of the time amounts and the price(s).

The system and method performing secure online-transactions based on challenge / response procedures executed by a terminal of at least one customer and by a terminal of a service provider, such as a bank, which terminals are connected to a network, preferably the Internet. The inventive method including:capturing biometric elements, such as audio and video samples or related biometric data, from the customer during an enrollment procedure and storing the biometric elements in a database, which is accessible by the service provider's terminal;executing synchronized challenge procedures for each transaction in order to produce identical challenges based on current transaction data;capturing biometric data from the customer's response to the challenge with the customer's terminal;delivering transaction data together with the biometric data of the customer's response to the service provider's terminal;retrieving and assembling biometric elements according to the challenge in order to assemble response in the service provider's terminal; andcomparing the biometric data of customer's response with the data of the assembled response and performing the requested transaction in the event that the data of the responses match.
