    Abstract: Disclosed are example methods, systems, and devices that allow for secure multi-verification of biometric data in a distributed computing environment. The techniques include receiving a request to grant authorization to a second user. The request can include biometric data of the first user and second user. An authorization token can be generated based on the request, which can be transmitted to a second computing device of the second user. A second request can be received from a third computing device that includes the authorization token and third biometric data. The second request can be verified based on the authorization token, the third biometric data, and provenance data, and an indication that the grant of authorization to the second user is verified can be transmitted to the first, second, or third computing devices.
