Embodiment Construction

[0040] Systems and methods embodying the present invention enable secure person-to-person electronic mail communications. By electronic mail is meant an electronic communication that may be sent via the Internet or any other suitable telecommunication network such as an intranet, or any other data transmission system (eg, the movement of a floppy disk).

[0041] The specific method for the system to protect email communications is to read the individual's biometric feature 20 and attach it to the mail 22 that is about to be sent, and encrypt the entire package in an encrypted envelope 24, as shown in FIG. 1 . Biometric feature 20 means an electronic version of at least one of any of the following features, pressure distribution, finger length, fingerprint, DNA, iris features, retinal features, facial tomographic features, facial shape at the time of signing by the user , ear prints, typing speed, typing pressure, and voice recognition. Of course other options are also possibl...

Abstract

A method for securing an electronic document ( 22 ) comprising attaching a biometric characteristic ( 20 ) and the electronic document ( 22 ) to form a biometric characteristic-document combination and encrypting the biometric characteristic-document combination to form an encrypted data package ( 24 ).

Description

technical field [0001] This application relates to systems and methods for securing and authenticating electronic documents, particularly electronic mail communications. Background technique [0002] Various methods are known for protecting and authenticating electronic documents, for example, symmetric encryption. In this case, an algorithm generates the key used to encrypt the document. This key is then forwarded to the intended recipient. The encrypted message is then sent to the recipient, who decrypts the message using the previously sent key. [0003] The problem with standard systems is that they use computer-to-computer based security. Therefore, if the sender's computer is compromised, a third party can send mail from that computer. When this happens, the recipient has absolutely no idea that the message was not sent by an authorized sender. Contents of the invention [0004] It is an object of the present invention to provide a relatively convenient and secu...
