Patent ID: 11962702
Assignee: REAL IZVEST LLC
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A biometric identification device comprising:
a processor;
a fingerprint sensor configured to generate a landscape of ridge and valley readings in response to contact of a fingerprint with the fingerprint sensor;
an encrypted memory storing an encrypted value associated with a character string;
a communicative connection to a computing device; and
a first memory being different from the encrypted memory and configured to store non-secure information, the first memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
store the character string in the first memory in association with the encrypted value in the encrypted memory, the character string in the first memory having a pointer to a location storing the encrypted value in the encrypted memory;
receive the character string from the computing device before authenticating the fingerprint;
determine that the fingerprint is authorized to access the encrypted memory;
identify the encrypted value based at least in part on the character string and the pointer in the first memory;
decrypt the encrypted value to generate a value; and
provide the generated value to the computing device.
