Abstract
This disclosure relates generally to a method and system for biometric verification. Conventional biometric verification method and system performs one or more computations in non-encrypted domain, thereby leading to security threats. The disclosed method includes performing computations such as enrollment and verification feature vector computation, dimensionality reduction of said feature vectors, and comparison of dimensionally reduced encrypted feature vectors to obtain matching scores indicating the extent of match therebetween between in encrypted domain using fully homomorphic encryption, thereby leading to secure biometric verification.
