Secure data processing using data packages generated by edge devices
Disclosed are example methods, systems, and devices that allow for secure data processing using data packages generated by edge devices. The techniques include generating a biometric signature using information captured by a computing device, and encrypting user data obtained via the computing device using the biometric signature and a device identifier of the computing device. A security token can be generated and utilized by the computing device to generate a data package, which is configured such that any change to the data package would cause a validation process of the data package using the security token to fail. The data package can be encrypted using various digital keys and provided to secondary computing systems.
