Embodiments of the present systems and methods may provide encrypted biometric information that can be stored and used for authentication with undegraded recognition performance. For example, in an embodiment, a method may comprise storing a plurality of encrypted trained weights of a neural network classifier, wherein the weights have been trained using biometric information representing at least one biometric feature of a person, receiving encrypted biometric information obtained by sampling at least one biometric feature of the person and encrypting the sampled biometric feature, obtaining an match-score using the encrypted trained neural network classifier, the match-score indicating a probability that the received encrypted biometric information matches the stored encrypted biometric information, and authenticating the person when the probability that received encrypted biometric information matches the stored encrypted biometric information exceeds a threshold.
