The paper substantiates the need to form the legal foundations of biometric authentication methods. The development of modern society is connected with the protection of information and information security. Biometric authentication methods are of interest as an innovative technology, the use of which should have an appropriate legal basis. The implementation of the necessary software must be regulated by separate provisions of copyright law. The use of biometric parameters of a person must also be subject to legal acts. The separation of the two concepts of authentication and identification in the legal aspect is justified. This is due to the fact that the possibility of access to both personal data of the individual and their financial assets is affected, since the main sphere of use of biometric parameters is the receipt of public and banking services. The regulatory legal acts that determine the possibility of using biometric authentication methods are considered. The paper draws practical conclusions about the need to distinguish an independent legal category of biometric personal data in the Russian legislation. To fix that the information about the subject of personal data will be attributed to biometric identification parameters if it is used for the purpose of establishing identity.
