Abstract:
1. A token comprising: a low power receiver to receive an indication indicating a presence of a nearby short-range terminal, the indication including information that expires; a wake-up logic to wake up the token in response to receiving the ping; a transceiver to return a connection request to the short-range terminal, the connection request including the information that expires, to prove that the ping is recent; and an identity verifier to perform a biometric authentication of a user, based on biometric data received from the terminal, by comparing the biometric data received from the terminal with the user's biometric pattern data securely stored on the token, without requiring user interaction with the token, thereby creating a two-factor authentication based on the token the user has and the biometric the user is, and without releasing the biometric pattern data to the terminal.
