Methods and systems for fingerprint template enrollment and distribution process

A method comprising:

• storing in a service provider database a user list and a user device list, the user list comprising a list of one or more user biometric identifiers, each user biometric identifier extracted from and unique to a respective template of a user biometric of a verified user, and the user device list comprising list of one or more user biometric identifiers each extracted from and unique to a respective template of a user biometric of a verified user device associated with the verified user;
• and
• determining, via an interpreter/matcher, whether a user biometric identifier extracted from and unique to a new user biometric template, received from a verified user device, matches a user biometric identifier in the stored user list to verify the new user biometric template;
• and
• authorizing a verified user device containing a stored master template identified by the user biometric identifier contained in the user list to transfer to the user device which transmitted the verified new user biometric template, a verified master template, to create a new root of trust and user biometric identifier for storage in the user list and the user device list.

A system comprising:

• a service provider database configured to store a user list and a user device list, the user list comprising a list of one or more user biometric identifiers, each user biometric identifier extracted from and unique to a respective template of a user biometric of a verified user, and the user device list comprising list of one or more user biometric identifiers each extracted from and unique to a respective template of a user biometric of a verified user device associated with the verified user;
• and
• an interpreter/matcher configured to determine whether a user biometric identifier extracted from and unique to a new user biometric template, received from a verified user device, matches a user biometric identifier in the stored user list to verify the new user biometric template;
• and
• a transfer authorizing unit, configured to authorize a verified user device containing a stored master template identified by the user biometric identifier contained in the user list to transfer to the user device which transmitted the verified new user biometric template, a verified master template, to create a new root of trust and user biometric identifier for storage in the user list and the user device list.
