Fingerprint as cryptokey

Yes, it really is possible to use fingerprints and other biometrics
as standard cryptographic keys, for example as the RSA secret key.

I have known this for over 10 years, and I can tell that now because
my job quarantine is over.

The most difficult part is to translate variable prints into
cryptographic keys with absolutely no variation. This is impossible to
solve if one goes directly at the problem, but I knew several solutions
to it years ago.

I have kept watch on the patents in this field, and even though
several have found parts of solutions, all have missed out on crucial
parts which were essential. All I have seen have defects that at best
will make them work as a demo on a small set of samples, or have Equal
Error Rates which are bad but perhaps camouflaged into bad crypto.

The question now is what I am to do with this knowledge. Perhaps
inverstors, consulting, selling, or nothing, or whatever. Any
suggestions?
