Claim 4:
5. A method for permitting an authorized person to securely and rapidly enter a location through the location's access control point in two phases,
the first phase comprising:
providing said person with a personal device that includes an interactive display and text input, secure communications capability, and a biometric sensor;
providing said person with a readable token with a unique code;
providing a server with a preexisting database of authentication information necessary to verify the identity of said person as well as said person's token code and criteria, previously set by said location, for determining whether or not said person has the authority to enter;
providing a computer at said location's access control point, connected to a token reader and access control equipment which can physically permit said person the ability to enter said location;
requesting access by said person to said location using said personal device and containing the location, the person's identity number, and multiple authentication factors including a biometric;
authenticating said person's identity by said server using said multiple factors and a biometric matching algorithm;
checking, by said server, said person's authority to enter said location based on said criteria;
responding, by said server, to said person's request with a message wherein, if said person is authenticated and found to meet said access criteria, said message will be an access confirmation authorizing future access, else the message will describe a reason why said person is not authorized access;
forwarding, if authorized access, said person's access confirmation and token code to a computer at said location's access control point;
saving, by said computer, said person's access confirmation and token code; and

the second phase comprising:
arriving by said person at said location's access control point;
reading said unique code of said person's token code by said computer's token reader;
retrieving said person's previously saved access confirmation message; and, if found,
permitting entry of said person through said access control point via control signals provided by said computer to automated access control equipment.
