Abstract
A system for using biometric key generation for data access control and path selection includes an access control regulator operating on a data security management device. The access control regulator receives an access request from a requestor, which may include a biometric signature captured by a biometric reader, locates an encrypted data record in a requestor-linked data store, determines that the requestor is authorized to access the encrypted data record by evaluating biometric keys generated from the requestor, and decrypts the requestor-linked data record. A validator operating on the data security management device may validate data from the encrypted data record using third-party validator devices; validation may be authenticated using further keys, which may also be biometric.
