Abstract
Systems and methods for implementing a sequence of fingerprints for biometric authentication are provided. A sequence of fingerprints is more difficult to fraudulently circumvent than a single finger or thumb print. A sequence of fingerprints takes advantage of inexpensive fingerprint scanners and easily available fingerprints. A sequence of fingerprints may be used in conjunction with additional biometric authentications and/or confidential access sequences. The sequence of fingerprints may include prints of the digits of the foot. The sequence of fingerprints for biometric authentication may be system or user defined.
