Abstract
User-specific data for use with a software service may be stored in an encrypted form, where the encryption and/or decryption keys used are associated with a user's biometric data (that the user voluntarily provides after appropriate disclosure, to protect the user's interest in privacy). When the user uses the software service on a device, the device may receive the user-specific data in an encrypted form, and then may use the biometric data to retrieve or generate the cryptographic key that is used to decrypt the user-specific data. The user-specific data is then decrypted and used on the device with the software service.
