Abstract
A biometric identification method includes the steps of acquiring biometric data, analysing the data to produce a current signature, and comparing the current signature with a reference signature. To this process is added the further step of verifying the origin of the current signature, by determining whether the signature is actually the result of the analysis of the biometric data obtained during the acquisition phase. The verification and comparison steps are preformed in a portable electronic device, such as a smart card.
