Abstract:
1. A secure system for the verification of the identification of a person of potential interest as a person of real interest using remote searching of facial, iris and voice biometric templates, said secure system comprising: a. security means for securing the secure system; b. a plurality of computer workstations distributed on a computer network wherein at least one of said plurality of computer workstations is a requesting node seeking verification of the person of potential interest; c. a biometric template of the person of potential interest obtained at said requesting node wherein said biometric template is a search target and wherein said search target is derived from one of a facial scan, an iris scan or a voice print scan; d. a verification query comprising the search target and a set of normalized search conditions comprising at least a first predetermined search speed and a first predetermined similarity measure, wherein said first predetermined similarity measure determines the degree of similarity between the search target and a plurality of biometric templates of said persons of real interest to constitute a match; e. a plurality of identification nodes comprising a plurality of shared, remotely distributed and searchable databases comprising said plurality of biometric templates of the persons of real interest, wherein each template of said plurality of biometric templates of the persons of real interest is tagged with art unique digital identifier that correlates said each biometric template of said plurality of biometric templates with a digitized textual record, wherein said digitized textual record is included in a remote database of digitized textual records accessible by the requesting node, and wherein said plurality of identification nodes is in secure communication with said computer network; f. a server having a server memory, said server in secure communication with the computer network for addressing said verification query to said at least one of the identification nodes; and, wherein each of the a least one of the identification nodes includes a node memory and is adapted to:
