Description
CBAM -Continuous Biometric Authentication Matrix is a revolutionary method of continuously and automatically verifying an individual's identity and authorization.

The patent covers continuous or periodic adaptive monitoring to verify a person's identity. It also covers systems that integrate a biometric sensor into the man machine command & operation interface such as a fingerprint reader in a computer mouse checking a fingerprint at the time the mouse is clicked or a person's voice being verified at the same time the voice is being employed in a voice command system.

A typical system consists of a controller, set(s) of sensor(s), and a number of programmable parameters. System operation has three steps: 1) initial user enrollment, 2) user evaluation, and 3) system output.  CBAM White Paper
