Abstract:
1. A system for generating a private key, comprising: a signal acquisition system for obtaining biometric input from a user and encoding the biometric input into an acquired biometric; a recognition system for determining an identity based on the acquired biometric and outputting an absolute biometric associated with the identity, wherein the absolute biometric comprises a fixed set of previously stored biometric data that maps to the user and does not change over time; wherein the signal acquisition system sends the acquired biometric to the recognition system via a network, and wherein the recognition system utilizes a model to determine the identity that is trained a priori with biometric data from the user; an input device for accepting a knowledge input from the user; and a key generator that generates a private key based on both of the knowledge input and the absolute biometric, wherein the key generator outputs a private key; and a public key generation system for generating a public key, wherein the private key is used to generate the public key within the key generation system.
