Abstract: A method for protecting a biometric template, comprising the steps of: retrieving an original vector (V) representing said biometric template, said vector comprising a plurality of original elements (v1, v2, . . . vi, . . . , vn); mapping at least some elements from said original vector to a protected vector (P) comprising a plurality of protected elements (p1, p2, . . . pi, . . . , pn?m+1), the mapping being based on multivariate polynomials defined by m user-specific coefficients (C) and exponents (E).

Abstract: An internet-connected server comprising a first module for authorizing a user to access the server for: setting up, on the server, a given configuration for conducting a computer-executable experiment, wherein the given configuration comprises at least an executable instruction and a parameter or input data; executing, on the server, the computer-executable experiment with the given configuration so to produce a numerical result; certifying, on the server, the numerical result so to produce a certified result; and generating, on the server, a certification identifier of the certified result. The internet-connected server further comprises a second module for authorizing a reviewer for: providing the server with the certification identifier; and requesting and/or accessing, on the server, the certified numerical result on the basis of the provided certification identifier.
