| Aug 11, 2015 at 21:06 | comment | added | Alex | as mentioned by @raz, such information should never be sent anywhere. It should be stored locally on the client side. Apple for example uses encryption on a "mathematical representation of the fingerprint" (hash?) on the device stored on a separate memory not directly reachable by either the main memory or iOS itself. support.apple.com/en-us/HT204587 | |

Although too slow for use today it could very well be possible. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homomorphic_encryption | |
