Abstract
Embodiments are directed to a method for securely performing biometric authentication online. The method described can be used to securely perform biometric authentication on a mobile device. For protecting the privacy of the users biometric data, a cryptographic comparison protocol can be used to perform matching of encrypted templates. For example, the cryptographic comparison protocol may involve Fuzzy Extractors (FE), Homomorphic Encryption (HE), and/or Secure Multi-Party Computation (SMPC).
