ABSTRACT:
A system and method for secure internet access by children that assigns each child a Safe Card with integral fingerprint scanner, plus an intelligent USB card reader for biometric-secure internet access. Both the Safe Card and card reader/docking station have device ID numbers. At registration each child is assigned a user ID, and a registration record is compiled including user ID, device IDs and photo data. Parents author a parental ruleset for their child which is associated with the registration record. The child activates their Safe Card by an initial fingerprint scan, and can then access the Internet from any web-enabled computer simply by plugging the card reader/docking station into the computer's USB port, inserting their Safe Card, and scanning their fingerprint. This authenticates the child, pre-loads the parental control ruleset and gives the child-user a restricted safe and secure but full internet experience.
