Zusammenfassung:A centralized biometric system (200) is provided for verifying an individual's identity over a communications network. The system includes a storage (210) that stores biometric information in association with information that identifies an individual. The system also includes a receiver (221) that receives, from one of a communications device (100/101/102) and a network communications platform (150/152/154), a biometric sample from a party attempting to obtain a service from the one of the communications device and the network communications platform. The service is provided contingent on authentication of the party as the individual. The system also includes a processor (223) that compares the biometric sample to the biometric information to authenticate the identity of the party as the individual.
