Abstract

Systems and methods for biometric subscriber account authentication are described. When a subscriber initially accesses subscriber account data maintained by the communication network, a first non-biometric authentication protocol is used. The subscriber may then be invited to set up biometric authentication, which includes generating a private key/public key pair. Subsequently, biometric authentication is performed at the user device to unlock the private key/public key pair, which is then used to support authentication of the subscriber to the communication network using a second authentication protocol.
