Abstract
The invention relates generally to secure data entry devices and methods of using such devices. A secure data entry device is provided that includes an integrated imaging device arranged such that it captures at least one image of a user during a transaction. The at least one image is processed in order to generate a biometric pattern. In one embodiment the at least one image includes a user's face and the processing involves applying a facial recognition algorithm to the at least one image to generate the biometric pattern. In some embodiments the biometric pattern is compared to a trusted biometric pattern in order to determine whether to approve or decline the transaction.
