Abstract
The invention relates to a database (10) suitable for combining biometric data (b) and an identifier (Id(b)). For this purpose, biometric data (bref) are collected (101). Next, a plurality of keywords is generated (102) by means of applying a family (H) of hash functions to the biometric data.
