Abstract

The anti-identity theft and information security system process includes storing secure information in association with an electronic device having a communication circuit for sending and receiving data. Biometric information is read with a scanner so that the identity of a user can be authenticating in connection with the supplied biometric information. Once approved, a data communication line is established with a remote device and access to the secure information is unlocked. Thereafter, the secure information may be transmitted between the electronic device and the remote device.

Claims (30)

1. An information security system process, comprising the steps of:

storing secure information in association with an electronic device having a communication circuit for sending and receiving data;

activating the communication circuit while a biometric sensor is reading biometric information;

authenticating an identity in connection with the biometric information;

establishing a line of data communication between the electronic device and a remote device;

unlocking access to the secure information based on the authenticated identity; and

transmitting the secure information between the electronic device and the remote device with the communication circuit simultaneously while reading the biometric information with the biometric sensor, and terminating transmission and locking the secure information in the absence of reading the biometric information.

2. The process of claim 1 , wherein the biometric sensor comprises a fingerprint receptor.

3. The process of claim 2 , wherein the fingerprint receptor comprises a three-dimensional surface reciprocally keyed to the three-dimensions of a unique fingerprint.

4. The process of claim 1 , wherein the biometric sensor is configured for use with a first set of biometric information and is selectively interchangeable with another biometric sensor configured for use with a second set of biometric information.

5. The process of claim 4 , including the step of erasing the secure information when changing the biometric sensor.

6. The process of claim 1 , wherein the electronic device comprises an identification card, a Smartphone, a computer, a credit card or a passport.

7. The process of claim 1 , wherein the authenticating step includes the step of authenticating biometric information comprising a fingerprint, an iris or a facial feature before unlocking access to the secure information.

8. The process of claim 1 , including the step of syncing the electronic device with the remote device.

9. The process of claim 8 , including the step of locking the electronic device with encrypted data, wherein the communication circuit is responsive to a communication signal carrying an authentication code generated by supplying authenticated biometric information.

10. An information security system process, comprising the steps of:

storing secure information in association with an electronic device having a communication circuit for sending and receiving data;

authenticating an identity in connection with the biometric information received by a biometric sensor;

activating the communication circuit once the identity is authenticated with the biometric information;

establishing a line of data communication between the electronic device and a remote device;

unlocking access to the secure information based on the authenticated identity; and

transmitting the secure information between the electronic device and the remote device with the communication circuit simultaneously while reading the biometric information with the biometric sensor, and terminating transmission and locking the secure information in the absence of reading the biometric information.

11. The process of claim 10 , wherein the biometric sensor comprises a fingerprint receptor.

12. The process of claim 11 , wherein the fingerprint receptor comprises a three-dimensional surface reciprocally keyed to the three dimensions of a unique fingerprint.

13. The process of claim 10 , wherein the biometric sensor is configured for use with a first set of biometric information and is selectively interchangeable with another biometric sensor configured for use with a second set of biometric information.

14. The process of claim 13 , including the step of erasing the secure information when changing the biometric sensor.

15. The process of claim 10 , wherein the electronic device comprises an identification card, a Smartphone, a computer, a credit card or a passport.

16. The process of claim 10 , wherein the authenticating step includes the step of authenticating biometric information comprising a fingerprint, an iris or a facial feature before unlocking access to the secure information.

17. The process of claim 10 , including the step of syncing the electronic device with the remote device.

18. The process of claim 17 , including the step of locking the electronic device with encrypted data, wherein the communication circuit is responsive to a communication signal carrying an authentication code generated by supplying authenticated biometric information.
