METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ENHANCING DETECTION OF MORPHED BIOMETRIC MODALITY DATA

A method for enhancing detection of morphed biometric modality data is provided that includes receiving, by an electronic device, biometric modality data of a person, extracting feature vectors from the biometric modality data, normalizing the feature vectors, encoding the normalized feature vectors into qubits, and expanding, using at least one quantum algorithm, the normalized feature vectors into a high-dimensional space. Moreover, the method includes generating a distribution from the high-dimensional space based on the qubits, calculating a deviation between the generated distribution and a corresponding record high-dimensionality feature vector distribution of the person, and comparing the calculated deviation against a threshold deviation value. In response to determining the deviation satisfies the threshold deviation value, the method determines the received biometric modality data was morphed.
