Patent ID: 8782427

Claim:
A method for identifying an unverified biometric sample, the method comprising: identifying, using at least one processor and using characteristics of the unverified biometric sample, a physiological data type represented by the unverified biometric sample, wherein the characteristics of the unverified biometric sample are received from parameters associated with a security token; retrieving, using the at least one processor, a biometric applet having a generic component corresponding to the physiological data type; identifying, using the generic component of the biometric applet, data points of the unverified biometric sample to use with a biometric processing algorithm; retrieving, using the at least one processor, the biometric processing algorithm corresponding to the physiological data type; processing, using the at least one processor, the unverified biometric sample using the biometric processing algorithm and the identified data points to produce results; and attempting to match the results of the processing to at least one of a plurality of biometric template records.
