Abstract
A method of generating a biometric electronic signature authenticated key exchange (“BESAKE”) token. The method begins when a biometric sample captured from a signing party is received. A secret knowledge factor is received. An encryption key is generated using the secret knowledge factor as an input to a password authenticated key exchange protocol. The biometric sample is encrypted with the encryption key. The BESAKE token is generated and includes the encrypted biometric sample and a signing party identifier associated with the secret knowledge factor. The BESAKE token can be verified using a decryption key generated using a stored knowledge factor as an input to the password authenticated key exchange protocol. The secret knowledge factor is retrieved based on the signing party identifier. The identity of the signing party can be authenticated by decrypting the biometric sample from the BESAKE token using the decryption key and matching the decrypted biometric sample.
