Secure identification methods and systems
There is disclosed a method of and a system for generating a unique identifier for a subject. Biometric data related to the subject is received. Identification markers from the biometric data are extracted. The unique identifier is generated from the extracted identification markers by identifying a given domain specific feature which has a predetermined identity compared to other domain specific features. Feature values are generated based on the biometric data and stored in a user profile of the subject.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising one or more of:
determining whether to accept the biometric data based on predetermined criteria;
processing the biometric data to enhance a signal thereof;

determining a user profile from a database of user profiles that matches the one or more feature values; and
outputting an indication that the subject has been authenticated after determining that the user profile from the database matches the retrieved profile corresponding to the subject.
15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the ordered list of features was generated by a machine learning algorithm (MLA) trained to rank features based on their ability to discriminate between individuals, wherein features that are more likely to discriminate between individuals are assigned a higher ranking in the ordered list of features.
16 . The method of claim 14 , wherein determining the user profile that matches the one or more feature values comprises:
iterating through the ordered list of features until a unique profile matching the biometric data of the subject is found, or iterating through the ordered list of features until an amount of potential matches for the biometric data of the subject is less than a predetermined threshold amount.
