A method and apparatus for securing a secure processor is described. A plurality of spurious points are added to a biometric template. A received biometric data is matched to the biometric template. It is determined if the plurality of spurious points are present in the received biometric data. If the received biometric data matches the biometric template and the spurious points were not present in the received biometric data, access is granted to the secure processor.
