A method of selectively authorizing access includes obtaining, at an authentication device, first information corresponding to first synthetic biometric data. The method also includes obtaining, at the authentication device, first common synthetic data and second biometric data. The method further includes generating, at the authentication device, second common synthetic data based on the first information and the second biometric data. The method also includes selectively authorizing, by the authentication device, access based on a comparison of the first common synthetic data and the second common synthetic data.
