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.
