Embedding Biometric Information into Anonymous Credentials

Abstract

Anonymous credentials allow people to authenticate to an organisation without being identified. While there are some approaches trying to ensure non-transferability we want to improve the methods relying on biometric authentication. In this working paper we present a first step of embedding biometric attributes into anonymous credentials. There are only slight changes to existing approaches, but the main purpose of this working paper is to establish a basis, which can be improved in the future to solve some of the problems addressed in the 'future work section'.
