(54) Title: MANAGING CRYPTOGRAPHIC KEYS BASED ON IDENTITY INFORMATION 
(57) Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer 
200programs encoded on computer storage media, for managing cryptographic keys based on 
user identity information. One of the methods includes receiving biometric information 
RESETIDENTITYCRYPTOGRAPHICCHIP 202 associated with a user and a request to store a user key pair to a memory on an identity 
cryptographic chip (ICC); comparing the biometric information associated with the user 
with biometric information pre-stored in the memory as pre-stored biometric information; 
RECEIVE AJTHORIZATION IDENTTY 204 in response to determining that the biometric information associated with the user matches 
the pre-stored biometric information, encrypting the user key pair to provide an encrypted 
user key pair; and storing the encrypted user key pair to the memory.
