Abstract
Methods, systems and computer program products are provided which allow for multi-party authentication by receiving a plurality of biometric authentication messages from a corresponding plurality of users. The biometric authentication messages include biometric data corresponding to the user. It is determined if each of the plurality of received biometric authentication messages is a valid message based on the biometric data contained in the biometric authentication messages so as to determine a quantity of valid biometric authentication messages. An indication of authentication is then provided if the quantity of the valid messages of the received plurality of messages is at least an authentication threshold value.
