Abstract
A method for authenticating biometric data determines a first set of descriptors of a fingerprint. Each descriptor in the first set represents a region of the fingerprint that includes multiple minutiae. The method compares each descriptor in the first set of descriptors with each descriptor in a second set of descriptors to determine a number of matching descriptors and compares the number of matching descriptors with a threshold for authenticating the biometric data.
