1. A system for permitting an authorized person to securely and rapidly pass through a location's access control point by first authenticating, checking entry criteria, and, if authorized, providing an access confirmation, and second by verifying the person's confirmation upon arrival, comprising:
a personal device that includes an interactive display and text input, secure communications capability, and a biometric sensor and enables said person to request access to a location before arriving, providing multiple authentication factors including a biometric to securely identify themselves;
a unique observable signature that said person has and can be observed, at the location's access control point, to identify said person, an observable signature being defined visually, such as a person's appearance or vehicle, or an electronic signal such as detection of a personal device such as a mobile phone or RFID; and
a network-connected server with a biometric matching algorithm and a preexisting database of authentication information necessary to verify an identity of said person as well as said person's unique observable signature and entry criteria, previously set by said location, for determining whether or not said person has authority to enter said location; and
a network-connected computer at said location's access control point, connected to a signature recognition device and access control equipment which can physically permit said person an ability to enter said location,
whereby, if is said person sends an access request with multiple authentication factors including a biometric for said location, said network-connected server verifies said person's identity and entry criteria, and responds with a secure access confirmation message which is also forwarded to said network-connected computer, and later, when said person arrives at the location's access control point, said network-connected computer recognizes said person by reading said unique observable signature associated with said person, checks said person's secure access confirmation message, and permits entry using said access control equipment.
