Where are biometric templates stored, and who controls them?

##### Post Metadata - Posted at: 4 months ago - Net upvotes: 1 ## Comments ### Comment 1 That depends on which product is deployed and how the platform is implemented. For passkey-based authentication through xAuth, the credential is stored on the user's device. For xFace server-side biometric authentication, templates are stored server-side in encrypted, irreversible format that cannot be reconstructed into an original image. They are also stored separately from the users personal information as an extra security layer to prevent connecting a template with a user. Where those server-side templates are physically hosted depends on platform and deployment. TrustX stores templates on an AWS cloud server usually regionally located to the client. IdentityX can store the templates on a Daon-managed cloud server, client-managed cloud infrastructure, or client-managed on-premises server. In all server-side deployments, the organization controls the templates, matching thresholds, and security policies, with optional BYOK for full cryptographic ownership of encryption keys. ##### Comment Metadata - Posted at: 4 months ago ## Related Product [Daon](https://www.g2.com/products/daon/reviews) ## Related Category [Biometric Authentication](https://www.g2.com/categories/biometric-authentication) ## Related discussions - [How well does Trello scale into a larger team?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/1-how-well-does-trello-scale-into-a-larger-team) - Posted at: about 13 years ago - Comments: 6 - [Can we please add a new section](https://www.g2.com/discussions/2-can-we-please-add-a-new-section) - Posted at: about 13 years ago - Comments: 0 - [Quantifiable benefits from implementing your CRM](https://www.g2.com/discussions/quantifiable-benefits-from-implementing-your-crm) - Posted at: about 13 years ago - Comments: 4
