Claim:
1. A method for biometrical identification of a user, the method comprising: a) receiving, from a user, data representing one or more biometrical properties of the user, wherein an association has been preestablished between the one or more biometrical properties and biometrical property identifiers that identify individual ones of the one or more biometrical properties, b) encoding the data representing the one or more received biometrical properties of the user, c) sending, to a database, the encoded data representing the one or more received biometrical properties as a biometrical challenge to the database, d) checking the encoded data representing the one or more received biometrical properties against the preestablished association to determine, as a response to the biometrical challenge, one or more biometrical property identifiers that correspond to the one or more received biometrical properties, e) checking the encoded data representing the one or more received biometrical properties against biometrical user information stored at the database to identify the user, f) displaying, as a response to the biometrical challenge, the one or more determined biometrical property identifiers for verification of the database by a verifying entity, g) encrypting the received biometrical properties of the user prior to step b), and h) decrypting the encoded data representing the one or more biometrical properties for performing step d).
