Abstract

A method for producing a secure personal card and its working process using an intelligent card, the card has electric contacts, a CPU with at least data memory of the user and a biometric data receptor of the user. The biometric data stored in the card is used to make a comparison with biometric data received at the moment of use. Once the card is activated, generating an absolute identification of the biometric data of the authorized user, said biometric data being stored in an unreadable memory, generating and storing the personal data of the user and his/her access code, said biometric data being compared with the current read data of the actual user, in order to verify the identity of the user, then verification and identification of said personal data and access code being allowed in order to continue regular working operation.

Claims (46)

1. A secure personal card comprising:

a card;

said card having a first side and a second side, said second side being opposite said first side;

a first microprocessor that manages said card, said processor being located below electrical contacts on said first side;

a fingerprint scanner for obtaining biometric data of said user including:

a fingerprint sensor; and

a second microprocessor that analyzes said biometric data of said user;

wherein said fingerprint scanner is located on said second side;

a biometric data memory, unreadable from an external source for storing said biometric data of said user;

a flexible bus located on said card connecting said first microprocessor and said second microprocessor;

wherein said fingerprint scanner scans a first biometric data set of an initial user and stores said first biometric data set on said biometric data memory; and

wherein said second microprocessor analyzes a second biometric data set of a second user and compares said second biometric data to said first biometric data stored in said biometric data memory to verify the authenticity of said second user;

wherein said card can only be operated when said second biometric data set matches said first biometric data set.

2. The secure personal card of claim 1 , wherein said electrical contacts are connected to said first microprocessor by a DATA BUS, VCC, and CLK.

3. The secure personal card of claim 2 , wherein said flexible bus comprises a RAM, ROM, and EPROM memory connection.

4. The secure personal card of claim 2 , wherein said card includes one of at least a magnetic memory strip, an RFID transponder, and a battery.

5. The secure personal card of claim 2 , wherein said biometric data receptor is one of at least a fingerprint scanner and a DNA analyzer.

6. The secure personal card of claim 5 , wherein said microprocessor compares DNA from said DNA analyzer jointly with a fingerprint from said fingerprint scanner.

7. The secure personal card of claim 1 , wherein said flexible bus comprises a RAM, ROM, and EPROM memory connection.

8. The secure personal card of claim 1 , wherein said card is not stratified and wherein said devices are embedded in said card by means of thermo-fusion moulding.

9. The secure personal card of claim 1 , wherein said first microprocessor, said second microprocessor, and said memory is pre-coated with epoxy resin fusion film.

10. The secure personal card of claim 1 , wherein said biometric data receptor includes one of at least a fingerprint scanner and a DNA Analyzer.

11. A method for operating a secure personal card comprising the steps of:

obtaining biometric data of an initial user from a fingerprint scanner during a first use of the card by an authorized user;

storing the biometric data of the authorized user in a biometric data memory located only on the card;

storing personal data corresponding to the authorized user on the card;

generating and storing an access code corresponding to the authorized user on the card;

obtaining biometric data from a subsequent user during a subsequent use of the card;

comparing the biometric data of the subsequent user to the biometric data stored in the biometric data memory;

wherein the card can only be operated when the biometric data of the subsequent user matches the biometric data of the first user; and

wherein the card further comprises:

a first microprocessor below electrical contacts on a first side of the card;

the fingerprint scanner for obtaining biometric data of said user including:

a fingerprint sensor; and

a second microprocessor that analyzes the biometric data of the user;

wherein the fingerprint scanner is located on the second side opposite the first side;

a flexible bus located on the card connecting the first microprocessor and the second microprocessor.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first microprocessor is a CPU processor and the second microprocessor is a circuit processor.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein said biometric data receptor comprises one of at least a fingerprint scanner and a DNA analyzer.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein said biometric data receptor comprises a microprocessor to compare DNA from said DNA analysis jointly with a fingerprint from said fingerprint scanner.

15. The method of claim 12 , wherein the electrical contacts are connected to said CPU processor by a DATA BUS, VCC, and CLK.

16. The method of claim 15 wherein said flexible bus comprises a RAM, ROM, and EPROM memory connection.

17. The method of claim 15 , wherein said card is not stratified and wherein said internal devices are embedded by means of thermo-fusion moulding.

18. The method of claim 15 , wherein said CPU microprocessor and said memory is pre-coated with epoxy resin fusion film.

19. The method of claim 15 , wherein said secure personal card comprises one of at least a magnetic memory strip, an RFID transponder, and a battery.

20. The method of claim 15 , wherein said contacts have one of at least an input supply, a clock, and a semi-duplex serial communicator.
