Electronic device and method for authenticating a user based on biometric information

Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes memory storing instructions, a camera, a communication circuit, and a processor. The instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to obtain an image including a body portion of a user through the camera based on execution of a software application, obtain a plurality of feature values for the body portion identified based on the image, generate a first value hashed based on first feature values representing at least one part of the body portion from among the plurality of feature values, generate a second value hashed based on second feature values representing at least another part of the body portion from among the plurality of feature values, and transmit, through the communication circuit, the first value and the second value to an external electronic device providing the software application.
