Title

A Biometric Authentication System

The present invention provides a privacy-preserving biometric authentication system that combines homomorphic encryption, zero-knowledge proofs, continuous multi-modal biometric fusion, quantum-resistant cryptography, estate fraud detection, and blockchain compliance orchestration. The system employs SIMD batched processing and adaptive precision control to securely process biometric data while maintaining zero data exposure throughout the authentication pipeline.

Innovation Areas

FHE Biometric Authentication

Privacy-preserving biometric matching using BFV Fully Homomorphic Encryption. Biometric templates encrypted, transmitted, stored, and matched without decryption. SIMD batching for 32 simultaneous users per ciphertext.

Technical Scope

The patent application covers the complete post-quantum authentication pipeline from biometric capture through encrypted matching, zero-knowledge proof generation, quantum-resistant attestation, and compliance-automated audit trails. Key technical contributions include:

Homomorphic Encryption Pipeline: BFV scheme with NTT-domain fused inner products, Montgomery-form twiddle factors, Harvey lazy reduction, and SIMD batching across 4,096-slot polynomials. Biometric data is never decrypted during the matching computation.

Zero-Knowledge Proof Generation: STARK proofs with SHA3-256 hashing, Fiat-Shamir transcript binding, and FRI-based polynomial commitments. No trusted setup required. Post-quantum secure by construction.

Quantum-Resistant Key Management: Hybrid key exchange (X25519 + Kyber ML-KEM-768), post-quantum digital signatures (Dilithium ML-DSA-65, FALCON-512, SPHINCS+ SLH-DSA), and lattice-family-diversified nested signature chains.

Privacy-Preserving Identity: Soulbound non-transferable digital identity with FHE-encrypted biometric binding, k-of-n MFA threshold, trust scoring, and guardian recovery with dual-key commitments.
