    Abstract: Use of a biometric identification device in a client computer system to subsequently access an authentication system includes receiving biometric sample data which is digitally signed and combining the data with a user ID and PIN. This package of data is then securely transmitted to a biometric matching server to validate the user and the biometric sample. Once validated, the biometric matching server return the data package plus a temporary certificate and a public/private key pair to the client computer. The client computer may then use this information to access an authentication system to subsequently gain access to a secure resource.

    Abstract: A credential is translated with one of different credential provider modules each translating a corresponding different type of credential into a common protocol. The translated credential is communicated through an API to a logon UI module to an operating system (OS) of a local machine. An OS logon module is called by the logon UI module to authenticate the translated credential against a credential database. A user identified by the translated credential is logged on to access the local machine when the authentication is successful. The credential can also be used with a selection received from t he logon UI module via a corresponding one of different pre-log access provider (PLAP) modules that each communicate with the API. The API establishes a network session with an access service specified by the selected PLAP module when the credential is authenticated with the credential database.
