1. A pen-based computing device for entry of secure data into a secure network, the pen-based computing device having a casing, the pen-based computing device including a facial image sensor for capturing a facial image print, the facial image sensor being positioned in the pen-based computing device;
- whereby placement of the facial image sensor in the pen-based computing device enables an incidental capture of the facial image of a user for purposes of identity authentication prior to each request to enter the secure data; and
whereby placement of the sensor in the pen-based computing device enables a continuous capture of a facial image print while the pen-based computing device is being used; and
whereby user identity authentication is provided simultaneously with each request to enter each data stream into said secure network, providing assurance that any mobile worker seeking to enter data is authorized prior to each data entry.

Abstract
A data security system comprises a host processor, and a plurality of remote computers. Each remote computer provides biometric authentication of a user prior to responding to the user request for data access. The remote computers are handheld when in operational mode. A sensor in the handheld computer captures a biometric image while the remote computer is being used. The biometric sensor is positioned in such a way that the sensor enables the capture of the biometric image continually during computer usage with each request for access to secure data. The biometric authentication occurs in a seamless manner and is incidental to the data request enabling user identity authentication with each request to access secure data.
