ArXi:2605.03857v1 Announce Type: new This work presents a deeper analysis of the "irreversibility" property of PolyProtect, a biometric template protection method initially proposed for securing face embeddings. PolyProtect transforms embeddings into protected templates via multivariate polynomials, whose coefficients and exponents are distinct for each subject enrolled in the face recognition system. A polynomial is applied to consecutive sets of elements from a given embedding, where the amount of overlap between the sets is a tunable parameter.
