BIOMETRIC DATA HASHING, VERIFICATION AND SECURITY

摘要

A fingerprint identification system comprising a smart device, a fingerprint scanner, a processor coupled to a transceiver and to the fingerprint scanner, and a digital storage element coupled to the processor. The digital storage element stores logic that causes the processor to: activate the fingerprint scanner to scan a user's finger, identify a feature and multiple minutia of the user's fingerprint, and generate a digital fingerprint string(s) indicative of a position of each minutia relative to the feature. The processor is then caused to combine the digital fingerprint string(s) with a first cryptographic salt to generate a first hash. The first hash is compared to a first hash signature to determine if the first hash represents an authentic fingerprint. If authentic, the processor combines the digital fingerprint string(s) with a second cryptographic salt to generate a second hash. This second hash is transmitted to one or more servers.

1. A biometric identification system, comprising: a biometric sensor operably connected to or included within a smart device, the smart device comprising a processor, and non-transitory digital storage element coupled to the processor, the non-transitory digital storage element storing logic that when executed by the processor causes the processor to:
activate the biometric sensor to scan an aspect of a user's physiology, identify a central feature and at least two minutiae of the user's scanned physiology, and generate a digital biometric string(s) indicative of a position of each of the at least two minutiae relative to the central feature; combine the digital biometric string(s) with a first cryptographic salt stored in the digital storage element to generate a first hash; compare the first hash to a first hash signature stored in the non-transitory digital storage element and determine if the first hash represents an authentic biometric scan.
