Abstract

L'invention concerne un système et un procédé d'identification biométrique sûre. Dans une mise en oeuvre classique, le système comprend un processeur, un capteur biométrique fonctionnellement couplé au processeur et un émetteur fonctionnellement couplé au capteur. Dans le mode de réalisation du descriptif, le capteur est un dactyloscope numérique et l'émetteur est un émetteur-récepteur sans fil, activé par Bluetooth. Le capteur et l'émetteur-récepteur sont disposés sur les première et seconde cartes d'extension conçues pour être en prise avec une fente d'extension d'un assistant numérique personnel.
