ADVANTAGES OF USING LOCALITY-SENSITIVE HASHING FOR FINGERPRINT VERIFICATION IN ZERO-KNOWLEDGE PROTOCOLS
Biometric authentication offers a secure and convenient way to verify user identity, but traditional systems often require storing sensitive biometric templates, posing significant privacy risks. This paper explores the use of Locality-Sensitive Hashing (LSH) combined with zk-protocols to enable privacy-preserving fingerprint authentication without storing or exposing raw biometric data.
