US Patent 10142333 Biometric reference template record

Systems and methods provide for secure and efficient token generation, management, transfer, and authentication services in a biometric data environment. Various embodiments relate to a method performed by a processor of an authentication computing system. An example method includes receiving a biometric reference sample and a user identifier. The user identifier uniquely identifies a user from whom the biometric reference sample was captured. The biometric reference sample is processed to generate biometric data. The biometric data is tokenized using a tokenization schema. A biometric reference template is generated and includes a template identifier uniquely identifying the biometric reference template. The template identifier is associated with the user identifier. The biometric reference template further includes the tokenized biometric data, and a first identifier signifying that the biometric reference template includes tokenized biometric data.
