Problems solved by technology

However, these longer passwords are more difficult for users to remember.
This factor does not provide any physical authentication of the user's identity.
Another potential threat that occurs when using passwords is commonly referred to as “Man in the Browser” attacks.
These types of attacks involve malicious software applications (malware) running in the internet browser while the user is logging on to a web site or performing a financial transaction.

Embodiment Construction

[0024]The systems and methods described herein relate to biometric authentication of users. “Biometrics”, “biometric information” and “biometric data” refers to measurable biological characteristics of a user, such as fingerprint characteristics, facial characteristics, eye characteristics, voice characteristics (also referred to as a “voiceprint”) and the like. As discussed herein, biometric information provides an additional level of security when used in systems and procedures related to authentication of a user and the implementation of secure transactions.

[0025]Particular examples discussed herein use fingerprint biometric information to authenticate one or more users. In other embodiments, any type of biometric information may be used instead of fingerprint information. Additionally, a particular embodiment may utilize multiple types of biometric information (e.g., fingerprints and voiceprints) to authenticate a user. Certain described embodiments refer to “swipe” style finger...

Abstract

A user transaction request is received at a client device. A web browser plug-in communicates the user transaction request to a server that determines whether the user transaction request is a secure transaction. Transaction data is received from the server via the web browser plug-in. If the received transaction data indicates a secure transaction, the user is prompted to provide biometric data from a user using a biometric device and related security protocols. The web browser plug-in then communicates a transaction confirmation to the server.
