BETA: Biometric-Enabled Threshold Authentication

In the past decades, user authentication has been dominated by server-side password-based solutions that rely on “what users know”. This approach is susceptible to breaches and phishing attacks, and poses usability challenges. As a result, the industry is gradually moving to biometric-based client-side solutions that do not store any secret information on servers. This shift necessitates the safe storage of biometric templates and private keys, which are used to generate tokens, on user devices.
