Abstract
Disclosed are methods and systems for generating and using biometric-based account numbers. A binary representation of biometric data of a first user may be received and reduced using an encoding process to generate a unique portion of an account number for the first user that is stored in a data store. The first user may be provided a certification mechanism that includes a chip storing the encoding process and a biometric scanning device. In response to an attempt by an unknown user to perform an interaction using the certification mechanism, a value generated by the certification mechanism may be received, and a match may be determined between the value and the unique portion of the account number stored in the data store, the match indicating the unknown user is the first user. Based on the match, the interaction may be authorized and the value is used to perform the interaction.
