Biometric personal identification credential system (PICS)

Abstract

This Interactive / Inoperable ID Card is a personal Bio related Positive Identification Credential System (PICS), which due to its nature could only be activated by the individual to whom it was originally issued. The PICS prior to use, would be activated by more than one of the individual's Bio characteristics, (i.e., Breath, perspiration, fingerprint, IR Imaging, DNA, etc.), which would be pre-stored in the PICS Memory for matching identification. The PICS would then be activated for a given length of time so that its Transponder could receive and respond to queries by an RF Reader with specific information stored in the card / memory. The information obtained by the RF Reader would be matched with the computer record which could respond instantly with a positive, personalized clearance, (or rejection), of the carrier. The PICS is positively personal, non-transferable and is subject to being disabled by the RF Reader if the Computer is programed to eliminate that particular card.

Description

STATEMENT OF GOVERNMENT INTEREST[0001]The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government for governmental purposes without the payment of any royalty thereon.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to systems which control access and more specifically to a multi-factor wireless access control system.[0003]A popular method in automated systems of controlling access is the use of a Personal Identification Number (PIN), which is supposedly known only to the user. The flaws of this “single-factor” approach is that if the PIN becomes known to others, they have access, security is lost. Also a rapid and constant flow of access is not always possible.[0004]There is a need to positively identify all vehicle occupants approaching the gates of Bases or other protected facilities is included in the Draft MNS for an Improved DoD Installation Entry Control Point System. To achieve this capability, at least three functions must be...

Benefits of technology

[0012]The present invention is a wireless multi-factor access control system, a system that can communicate via transceiver when interrogated and will send Encrypted Finger Print to Host Computer for validation and I.D. approval, which can transfer data and information DIN (Digital I

Problems solved by technology

The flaws of this “single-factor” approach is that if the PIN becomes known to others, they have access, security is lost.

Also a rapid and constant flow of access is not always possible.

Third, a constant flow of vehicles and / or personnel is needed to accommodate literally several thousands.
