Abstract
A method for biometric authentication is disclosed. Reference biometric data established at a first device can be stored at a backend server computer. The server computer can then provide the reference biometric data with a second device when needed for biometric authentication at the second device.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a server computer, from a first user device, a reference biometric template and a first parameter value;
- storing, by the server computer, the reference biometric template and the first parameter value;
- receiving, by the server computer, from a second user device, a request for accessing data, the request including a query biometric template and a second parameter value;
- identifying, by the server computer, the reference biometric template and an associated dataset based on a comparison of the second parameter value with the first parameter value;
- authenticating, by the server computer, the query biometric template based on a comparison with the reference biometric template;
- and
- based on authenticating the query biometric template, transmitting, by the server computer, an authentication approval message to the second user device, wherein the second user device grants access to the dataset based on the authentication approval message.

A server computer comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer readable medium, the computer readable medium comprising code, executable by the processor, for implementing a method comprising:
- receiving from a first user device, a reference biometric template and a first parameter value;
- storing the reference biometric template and the first parameter value;
- receiving from a second user device, a request for accessing data, the request including a query biometric template and a second parameter value;
- identifying the reference biometric template and an associated dataset based on a comparison of the second parameter value with the first parameter value;
- authenticating the query biometric template based on a comparison with the reference biometric template;
- and
- based on authenticating the query biometric template, transmitting an authentication approval message to the second user device, wherein the second user device grants access to the dataset based on the authentication approval message.
7 more elements
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a server computer, from a first user device, a reference biometric template;
- storing, by the server computer, the reference biometric template;
- receiving, by the server computer, from a second user device, a request for the reference biometric template;
- identifying, by the server computer, the reference biometric template;
- and
- in response to identifying the reference biometric template, providing, by the server computer, the reference biometric template to the second user device, wherein the second user device authenticates a user based on a comparison of a query biometric template with the reference biometric template.
