iCOGNIZE has applied for a patent on its new split-template method for securing biometric data. In this new process, biometric data is split directly after gathering, rendering it unrecognisable.
Since biometric data contains mathematical descriptions of certain characteristics of body features such as fingerprints, iris or facial details, and vein patterns, it is considered highly critical and must be protected in a particular manner. That is, not only to avert data breaches but especially to prevent cybercriminals from stealing entire sets of biometric data.
The process can be used wherever sensitive data needs to be protected more strongly. And also, outside of biometric systems. For example, with the split-template method, tokens can be protected even better against unauthorized access.
