A smartcard-enabled BPID Security Device integrates a smartcard reader with a biometric authentication component to provide secured access to electronic systems. The device allows for an individual to insert a smartcard into an aperture in the physical enclosure of the BPID Security Device, allowing the smartcard and the BPID Security Device to electronically communicate with each other. The smartcard-enabled BPID Security Device is based on a custom application specific integrated circuit that incorporates smartcard terminals, such that the BPID Security Device can communicate directly with an inserted smartcard. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the smartcard- enabled BPID Security Device is based on a commercial off-the-shelf microprocessor, and may communicate with a commercial off-the-shelf microprocessor smartcard receiver using a serial, USB, or other type of communication protocol. The device allows for enrolling a user's credentials onto the smartcard-enabled BPID Security Device. The device also allows for authenticating an individual using the smartcard-enabled BPID Security Device.

Dispositif de sécurité BPID par carte à puce comprenant un lecteur de carte à puce avec composante d'authentification biométrique permettant de sécuriser l'accès aux systèmes électroniques. Un individu peut donc insérer une carte à puce dans l'enceinte physique du dispositif, aux fins de communication mutuelle. Le dispositif en question fonctionne sur la base d'un circuit intégré spécifique à une application personnalisée qui incorpore des terminaux de carte à puce, et il peut ainsi communiquer directement avec une carte à puce insérée. Selon une variante, le dispositif fait intervenir un microprocesseur standard, et il peut communiquer avec un récepteur de carte à puce à microprocesseur standard par le biais d'un protocole de communication série, USB ou autre. Il est possible d'enregistrer l'identité d'un utilisateur sur le dispositif, lequel permet d'authentifier par ailleurs un individu qui l'utilise.
