Abstract: A method performed by a client device of enrolling biometric data of a user with a network node over a secure communication channel comprises capturing the biometric data, transforming the biometric data into a first set of transformed biometric data using a first feature transformation key, generating a second feature transformation key, and transforming the biometric data into a second set of transformed biometric data using the second feature transformation key. The method further comprises encrypting the first and second set of transformed biometric data with an encryption key, encrypting the second feature transformation key with another encryption key shared with the network node at which the first and second sets of transformed biometric data are to be enrolled, and submitting, to the network node, an enrolment request comprising the encrypted first and second sets of transformed biometric data, the encrypted second feature transformation key, and user profile data.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a method for forming a candidate fingerprint representation of a fingerprint of a finger of a user of an electronic device comprising a capacitive fingerprint sensor for sensing a fingerprint pattern, the method comprising acquiring a sequence of candidate fingerprint images each acquired at different imaging acquisition settings. Further, a fingerprint feature set is extracted from each of the candidate fingerprint images, the fingerprint features of each fingerprint set being extracted according to a first selection criterion. A feature representation set is determined for each of the fingerprint feature sets. A candidate fingerprint representation is formed from a combination of the fingerprint feature representation sets. The invention further relates to a fingerprint sensing system and an electronic device.

Abstract: A method of estimating a finger movement comprising acquiring a navigation evaluation image from each of at least three navigation subareas of a fingerprint sensor; determining, for each of the navigation evaluation images, a navigation-related property of the navigation evaluation image; evaluating the navigation-related properties to find a combination of at least a first navigation-related property and a second navigation-related property that fulfills a navigation requirement; and selecting at least a first navigation subarea related to the first navigation-related property and a second navigation subarea related to the second navigation-related property. The finger movement is then estimated using a sequence of first navigation images acquired using the first navigation subarea, and a sequence of second navigation images acquired using the second navigation subarea.
