Abstract
Methods and systems are described for binding a data transaction to a person's identity using biometrics. The method comprises the generation of data which includes information associated with a transaction, or an encrypted transaction, between a server and a client device associated with a user, generating authentication data providing an irrevocable binding of the information to biometric characteristics of the user, by capturing biometric input by the user of said authentication data or information associated with the transaction, wherein this information is implanted into the captured data. A predetermined minimum number of quorum portions may be generated from a portion of the data generated or processed by the method, wherein at least a predetermined minimum number of received quorum data portions are required to reconstruct the data portion.
