ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a distributed information processing system for verifying the identities of telephone callers, in which data is stored in a first processing station and signal processing is performed by one or more speaker verification units located at one or more respective second, remote processing stations. The first processing station is arranged for storing data corresponding to a signature and to caller identification information for respective users. The second processing station or stations each include a speaker verification unit and a processor. The speaker verification unit is adapted for receiving, via the public telephone system, a voice and/or touch-tone signal representing a signature of a possible user, and for digitally signal processing the signal representing the signature. The processor is connected to the speaker verification unit and is adapted for connection to the first station via a telephone line between the first and second stations, programmed to receive caller identification information for the possible user and to receive a digitally processed signature signal for the possible user from the speaker verification unit, and programmed to communicate with the first station via the telephone line in order to test the signature of the possible user against the valid signature of the user corresponding to the received caller identification information.
