  • Patent number: 12218932
    Abstract: An approach for increasing security of biometric templates is described. An improved system is adapted to split a full set of features or representations of a trained model into a first partial template and a second partial template, the second partial template being stored on a secure enclave accessible only through zero-knowledge proof based interfaces. During verification using the template, a new full set of features is received for comparison, and a model is loaded based on the available portions of the model. Comparison utilizing the second partial template requires the computation of zero-knowledge proofs as direct access to the underlying second partial template is prohibited by the secure enclave.

  • Publication number: 20250014030
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and machine-executable data structures for the processing of data for the secure creation, administration, manipulation, processing, and storage of electronic data useful in the processing of electronic payment transactions and other secure data processes. Aspects of such systems include trusted platforms by which networked communication devices and merchant systems may be registered as trusted entities. Information associated with particular payment means, such as accounts or payment tokens, can be stored on device(s) secure data sets known as virtual or electronic wallets, or in the form of secure payment tokens. Common application programming interfaces executed by devices may facilitate push and pull processes between electronic wallets and other secure data stores. Users may thereby initiate and complete electronic transactions directly from within applications on trusted devices.
