Abstract

An improvement to the function of computer systems, including those that verify the identity of subjects arriving at checkpoints, is realized by (a) relying on a central resource, instead of checkpoints, to perform biometric comparisons, (b) using lists of expected subjects at the checkpoints, (c) providing rolling updates to the list of expected subjects as warranted by changes, and (d) locking the records of subjects once their identity is verified. The improvement resides in specialized logic that is specifically tailored to the checkpoint environment and, as such, leads to reduced computing resource consumption for the processing system, the memory, the network, and the components that interface with the network.
