METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING SECURE ACCESS TO DATA IN A NETWORK

摘要

Methods and system for managing secure access to data by a user in a network are disclosed. The method includes receiving (402, 404) a key and a biometric sample of the user transmitted by a user device (104) at a server (102). The method also includes decrypting (406) an encrypted biometric profile (212) corresponding to the user by using the key, to yield an unencrypted biometric profile. The method further includes authenticating (408) the user by using the biometric sample of the user and the unencrypted biometric profile corresponding to the user. The method further includes discarding (410) the key, the biometric sample of the user, and the unencrypted biometric profile corresponding to the user after authentication.
