A method for registration of a biometric template in a computing device includes: storing, in a first memory of a computing device, a biometric module; receiving, by an input device of the computing device, biometric data of a user; generating, by the biometric module of the computing device, a template based on the biometric data; generating, by a generation module of the computing device, a cryptographic key pair comprised of a private key and a corresponding public key using an encryption algorithm; encrypting, by an encryption module of the computing device, the generated template using the private key; storing, in a second memory of the computing device, the private key, wherein the second memory is a trusted execution environment; and storing, in the computing device, the encrypted template.
