Abstract
Electronic devices are adapted to generate cryptographic keys from one or more biometrics. According to one examples, an electronic device can obtain a non-encoded bit string associated with biometric information for an individual. The non-encoded bit string can be treated as if it were encoded and a decoding operation may be applied to the bit string, resulting in a modified bit string. One or more cryptographic keys can then be generated based at least in part on the modified bit string. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.
