Abstract
A biometric authentication method and apparatus are provided. A user to be authenticated uses a portable object including at least one biometric sensor. The portable object is adapted to cooperate with a terminal. The method includes: capturing, by the portable object, a biometric sample to be compared coming from the user to be authenticated; transmitting, by the portable object, the biometric sample, in a secure form to an authentication server; and determining, by the authentication server, a signature to be authenticated using said biometric sample, then comparing the signature with a reference signature.
