Abstract

A device for use by an authorized person having an unique biometric parameter to obtain information for use in accessing a secured site. The device comprises a biometric interface unit engaged with a portable body member. The device further comprises biometric circuitry adapted to generate and store an initialized biometric template upon presentment of the person's unique biometric parameter to the biometric interface unit. The biometric circuitry is further adapted to generate a second biometric template upon subsequent presentment of the person's unique biometric parameter to the biometric interface unit. The device further comprises compare circuitry adapted to generate an first signal indicative that the second biometric template is substantially identical to the initialized biometric template. The device further comprises a storage device for storing a plurality of passwords. The device further comprises password circuitry adapted to generate a password in response to the first signal from the compare circuitry. The password circuitry being adapted to store the password in the storage device. The device further comprises water marking circuitry adapted to generate and embed a watermark within the password. The water marking circuitry may further comprise a plurality of memory registers and a data base having a plurality of public domain watermarks randomly assigned to each memory register. The device further comprises pager circuitry adapted to receive a signal from the secure site indicative that access has been attempted using said password and to generate an audible tone.
