Abstract
Embodiments may include techniques to prevent illegal ciphertexts using distance computations on homomorphic and/or functional encrypted templates while detecting whether the resulting distance does not meet requirements for validity. For example, a method may comprise receiving and storing enrollment information from a client computer system, the enrollment information comprising an encrypted enrollment template of authentication data and a plurality of randomly generated encrypted templates, receiving an additional encrypted template to be used to authenticate the user from the client computer system, authenticating the user by determining distances between the received additional encrypted template and the stored encrypted enrollment template and the each of the stored plurality of randomly generated encrypted templates, and determining that authentication is successful when the received additional encrypted template meets distance requirements relative to the stored encrypted enrollment template and the each of the stored plurality of randomly generated encrypted templates.
