Abstract
A system for enabling identity verification of an individual in a transaction between the individual and an entity that utilizes a data processing system, an entity device, and an individual device. The individual registers with the data processing system biometric data taken from the individual and data pertaining to an individual device. The entity registers with the data processing system entity identifying information. Once the individual and entity agree on a transaction, the entity notifies the data processing system of the pending transaction and requests verification of the individual's identity. The individual communicates to the data processing system individual biometric data. The data processing system compares the biometric data from the individual with registered biometric data. The data processing system forwards a result of the comparison to the entity and upon a successful comparison, may forward any requested information regarding the individual to the entity.
