Abstract
A biometric template created at a user device is divided into portions that are distributed among members of a trusted circle and, optionally, a remote storage service. When the user associated with the biometric template attempts to reauthenticate on a different user device, live identity information is captured and transmitted to trusted circle members. The members confirm the identity of the user and provide the biometric template portions to the different device for reconstruction of the original template. The user can then biometrically reauthenticate using the reconstructed template.
