A system for permission confirmation incorporates a terminal device for transmitting an authorization request on a network. The terminal device includes capability for encryption of the request and for decryption of a response. A request arbitrating server (RAS) is connected to the network for receiving the authorization request from the terminal device. The RAS incorporates capability for decryption of the request from the terminal display and determines an authorizing party responsive to the request. The RAS then has capability for encryption of a request to an authorizing party for transmission on the network, and, for decryption of a response and biometric data from the authorizing party. The RAS has capability to confirm biometric data received and encrypt a response to the terminal device. A user biometric device (UBD) is connected to the network having capability for receiving an authorization request from the RAS and decrypting the request. A display for the decrypted request and a sensor for entry of biometric data along with an input device for entry of a response to the request is incorporated in the UBD. The UBD provides capability for encrypting the biometric data and response and transmission of the encrypted biometric data and response to the network for receipt by the RAS.
