摘要:
The present invention relates to a system and a method of verifying the identity of a user and based thereon controlling access to user specific data or actions, said method verifies said identity by receiving an identification key, and based on a comparison with a prestored reference identification key access to said user specific data or action is controlled, said identification key being obtained by the steps of: visually recording a gesture by recording the trajectory of a hand of said user when the user uses said hand for performing a gesture, extracting gesture characteristics from said visually recorded gesture, performing said verification by comparing an identification key comprising said gesture characteristics with a pre stored reference identification key comprising reference gesture characteristics. An advantage of the gesture signature over ''static'' approaches like iris scans or face recognition is reliability. The dynamic data inherent in a gesture signature strongly increases the verification confidence.
