Problems solved by technology

While the card can shield wireless sources that might try to grab information and protect access to the card reader, if any of these information grabbing channels gain access to the card, they may be able to access the card without the cardholder's consent. Grab information from the card
Conventional methods of physically and electronically enhancing the card's security unnecessarily hinder the desired convenient use of the card by the cardholder

Embodiment Construction

[0022] In the following detailed description, several examples and embodiments of the invention are described. However, it is clear to a person skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the examples listed and may be adapted to any of several other uses.

[0023] Some embodiments of the invention provide a secure self-authenticating smart card comprising a card access module having securely stored information required to use the smart card, a biometric module verifying a person's identity before allowing the card access module to access the securely stored information, and power supply. In some embodiments, the biometric module obtains biometric input from a person that is compared to a biometric template stored in the smart card's storage device.

[0024] By way of example, in figure 1 A secure self-authenticating smart card is shown in , which conceptually illustrates an external view of a smart card in some embodiments. Specifically, the figure shows a smar...

Abstract

A smart card includes a fingerprint sensor / scanner which matches and verifies a person's identity against an on-board stored fingerprint template. If the identity is verified, the card will permit access to information stored on the card. All of the matching, templates and secure information are stored on the card. The smart card may also contain an NFC router which enables information on the card to be read wirelessly by enabled mobile phones. The smart card may be read by contact or wirelessly by standard smart card readers. No other smart card can communicate wirelessly with mobile phones, without an external reader.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments herein relate generally to smart card systems, and more particularly to security and verification of smart card usage in smart card systems. Background technique [0002] Smart cards, debit or bank cards, identification cards, rewards cards, and any other variety of plastic cards that a person can carry or use have information encrypted into the card to facilitate their use. Many of these traditional cards can now be read without touching the card directly. In other words, when the card is brought into proximity with the reader, the reader may be able to look up the information stored on the card and extract the information needed to complete the transaction or other activity. The ability to access the cards without physically touching the cards has resulted in many instances of identity theft and information theft by persons improperly carrying remote readers or scanners within range of unaware card holders. [0003] Furthermore, when th...
