A system and method enrolls a speaker with an enrollment utterance and
authenticates a user with a biometric analysis of an authentication
utterance, without the need for a PIN (Personal Identification Number).
During authentication, the system uses the same authentication utterance
to identify who a speaker claims to be with speaker recognition, and
verify whether is the speaker is actually the claimed person. Thus, it is
not necessary for the speaker to identify biometric data using a PIN. The
biometric analysis includes a neural tree network to determine unique
aspects of the authentication utterances for comparison to the enrollment
authentication. The biometric analysis leverages a statistical analysis
using Hidden Markov Models to before authorizing the speaker.
