System and method for authenticating a person using biometric data

A computerized system for authenticating a person, comprising:

• a controller configured to control access to a physical entity, said controller is connected to a biometric acquisition device configured to acquire biometric data of the person near the physical entity, said controller comprising:
• a communication module configured to communicate wirelessly with an electronic device used by the person and an MPC module configured to participate in a multiparty computation (MPC) process with the electronic device used by the person;
• a computerized server comprises a biometric data storage configured to store shares of biometric samples associated with multiple devices, a communication module configured to exchange information with at least one of the controller or the electronic device used by the person and an MPC module, said server is configured to provide validation indication of the person;
• wherein the electronic device used by the person stores a share of the person's biometric sample, such that the person's biometric sample cannot be extracted solely from the information stored at the electronic device used by the person and cannot be extracted solely from the information stored at the computerized server;
• wherein the controller, the electronic device used by the person and the computerized server perform an MPC process to determine a match between the person's biometric data acquired by the biometric acquisition device and the biometric samples stored in at least two shares, one share is stored at a computerized server and another share is stored in the electronic device used by the person;
• wherein the controller determines authentication of the person upon determination of the match.
