A Web-based authentication system and method, the system comprising at least one Web client station, at least one Web server station and an authentication center. The Web client station is linked to a Web cloud, and provides selected biometric data of an individual who is using the Web client station. The Web server station is also linked to the Web cloud. The authentication center is linked to at least one of the Web client and Web server stations so as to receive the biometric data. The authentication center, having records of one or more enrolled individuals, provides for comparison of the provided data with selected records. The method comprises the steps of (i) establishing parameters associated with selected biometric characteristics to be used in authentication; (ii) acquiring, at the Web client station, biometric data in accordance with the parameters; (iii) receiving, at an authentication center, a message that includes biometric data; (iv) selecting, at the authentication center, one or more records from among records associated with one or more enrolled individuals; and (v) comparing the received data with selected records. The comparisons of the system and method are to determine whether the so-compared live data sufficiently matches the selected records so as to authenticate the individual seeking access of the Web server station, which access is typically to information, services and other resources provided by one or more application servers associated with the Web server station.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A method for Web-based, biometric authentication of individuals who are using a Web Client station, the individuals seeking access of a Web server station, the method comprising the steps of:establishing parameters associated with selected biometric characteristics to be used in authentication;acquiring, at the Web client station, biometric data from an individual in accordance with the parameters;receiving, at an authentication center, a message that includes live data comprising the acquired biometric data from the individual seeking access of the Web server station;selecting, at the authentication center, one or more records from among records associated with one or more enrolled individuals;comparing the live data with selected records, the comparison determining whether the so-compared live data sufficiently matches the selected records as to authenticate the individual seeking access;recording selected details of the received message and the results of the comparing step so as to create a biometric audit trail; andwhen an individual fails authentication, using selected details of the received message, and comparing said selected details with a plurality of records, the comparison determining whether the so-compared selected details sufficiently match any one or more of the so-compared records, so as to identify the individual seeking unauthorized access of the Web server station.
