Dna sample data in a transponder transaction

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to the use of DNA sample data as part of a biometric security system in a transponder transaction. The biometric security system also includes a DNA sensor that detects biometric samples, and a device for verifying biometric samples. In one embodiment, the biometric security system includes a transponder configured with a DNA sensor. In another embodiment, the system includes a reader configured with a DNA sensor. In yet another embodiment, the present invention discloses methods for proffering and processing DNA samples and DNA sample data to facilitate authorization of transactions.

1 . A Radio Frequency (RF) payment device, comprising:
 a fingerprint biometric sensor configured to detect a proffered fingerprint to create digitized fingerprint scan data;   a protocol/sequence controller configured to:
 compare the digitized fingerprint scan data with previously stored digitized fingerprint scan data stored in a first database local to the payment device to facilitate a transaction, and 
 compare the digitized fingerprint scan data with previously stored digitized fingerprint scan data stored in a second database remote to the RF payment device to facilitate the transaction; and 
   an authentication circuit configured to:
 validate the comparisons of the protocol/sequence controller, and 
 authorize the transaction to proceed by applying a transaction value of the transaction from a first funding source associated with the payment device. 
   
     
     
         2 . The RF payment device of  claim 1 , wherein the protocol/sequence controller is configured to compare the digitized fingerprint scan data with previously stored digitized fingerprint scan data stored in a second database remote to the RF payment device to facilitate the transaction. 
     
     
         3 . The RF payment device of  claim 1 , further comprising an RF transponder configured to receive a device authentication code from an RF Identification (RFID) reader. 
     
     
         4 . The RF payment device of  claim 3 , further comprising a unique device encryption key corresponding to a device identification code associated with the RF payment device. 
     
     
         5 . The RF payment device of  claim 4 , wherein the authentication circuit is further configured to use the unique device encryption key to encrypt the device authentication code and a device account code associated with the RF payment device to create an encrypted device authentication code and an encrypted device account code. 
     
     
         6 . The RF payment device of  claim 5 , wherein the RF transponder is further configured to transmit at least one of the encrypted device authentication code and the encrypted device account code to the RFID reader. 
     
     
         7 . A method, comprising:
 detecting, by a fingerprint biometric sensor, a proffered fingerprint to create digitized fingerprint scan data;   comparing, by a protocol/sequence controller, the digitized fingerprint scan data with previously stored digitized fingerprint scan data stored in a first database local to the payment device to facilitate a transaction;   comparing, by the protocol/sequence controller, the digitized fingerprint scan data with previously stored digitized fingerprint scan data stored in a second database remote to the RF payment device to facilitate the transaction;   validating, by an authentication circuit, the comparisons of the protocol/sequence controller; and   authorizing, by the authentication circuit, the transaction to proceed by applying a transaction value of the transaction from a first funding source associated with the payment device.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , further comprising comparing, by the protocol/sequence controller, the digitized fingerprint scan data with previously stored digitized fingerprint scan data stored in a second database remote to the RF payment device to facilitate the transaction. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 7 , further comprising receiving, by an RF transponder, a device authentication code from an RF Identification (RFID) reader. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , further comprising encrypting, by the authentication circuit, the device authentication code and a device account code associated with the RF payment device with a unique device encryption key to create an encrypted device authentication code and an encrypted device account code. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , further comprising transmitting, by the RF transponder, at least one of the encrypted device authentication code and the encrypted device account code to the RFID reader. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the unique device encryption key corresponds to a device identification code associated with the RF payment device. 
     
     
         13 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause a computer to perform operations comprising:
 detecting, by a fingerprint biometric sensor, a proffered fingerprint to create digitized fingerprint scan data;   comparing, by a protocol/sequence controller, the digitized fingerprint scan data with previously stored digitized fingerprint scan data stored in a first database local to the payment device to facilitate a transaction;   comparing, by the protocol/sequence controller, the digitized fingerprint scan data with previously stored digitized fingerprint scan data stored in a second database remote to the RF payment device to facilitate the transaction;   validating, by an authentication circuit, the comparisons of the protocol/sequence controller; and   authorizing, by the authentication circuit, the transaction to proceed by applying a transaction value of the transaction from a first funding source associated with the payment device.   
     
     
         14 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 13 , further comprising comparing, by the protocol/sequence controller, the digitized fingerprint scan data with previously stored digitized fingerprint scan data stored in a second database remote to the RF payment device to facilitate the transaction. 
     
     
         15 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 13 , further comprising receiving, by an RF transponder, a device authentication code from an RF Identification (RFID) reader.
