Abstract: A biometric processor comprises: one or more inputs configured to receive first ear biometric data acquired in respect of a first ear of a user and second ear biometric data acquired in respect of a second ear of the user; a processing module configured to perform a biometric algorithm on the first ear biometric data and the second ear biometric data, based on a comparison of the first ear biometric data to a first stored ear biometric template for an authorised user and a comparison of the second ear biometric data to a second stored ear biometric template for the authorised user, to obtain respective first and second biometric scores; a fusion module configured to apply first and second weights to the respective first and second biometric scores to obtain first and second weighted biometric scores, and to combine at least the first and second weighted biometric scores to generate an overall biometric score, wherein the first and second weights are different to each other; and wherein a biometric result is based on the overall biometric score.
