Abstract: The use of user-specific data to process a biometric print, such that use of the biometric print is revoked by invalidating the user-specific data. The processed print is generated by performing one-way processing of the biometric print using the user-specific data. The processed print, not the biometric print, is then provided to the authentication system for later authentication of the user. During matching, the user later provides a current biometric, resulting in generation of a current biometric print. For each of multiple users, the user-specific is obtained for that user, and at least one processed print is generated for each user based on the current biometric print. The current processed prints are used by the authentication system to match against each of the enrolled processed prints. If a match is found, the user is identified as being the user associated with the matching enrolled print.
