I would be very surprised if the fingerprint is sent over the wire. Instead, I would expect the "secure enclave" to validate the fingerprint, and then emit a time-limited certificate of some sort to authenticate with servers. The fingerprint information - or derived information such as hashes - never needs to leave the phone.
