Patent number: 12218932Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2021Date of Patent: February 4, 2025Assignee: ROYAL BANK OF CANADAInventors: Margaret Inez Salter, Iustina-Miruna Vintila, Arya Pourtabatabaie, Edison U.
