Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to, among other things, improving data security with respect to data collection, verification, and authentication techniques associated with obtaining and transmitting identity information. For example, an identity credential may be secured using biometric information associated with a user, the biometric information being obtained using a first biometric input method of a plurality of biometric input methods. When the user is later authenticated, the authentication may be based at least in part on determining that the user has selected a biometric input method that matches the biometric input method used to secure the credential as well as providing biometric information that matches the biometric information used to secure the identity credential.
