Homomorphic Encryption for Speaker Recognition: Protection of Biometric Templates and Vendor Model Parameters

چکیده
Data privacy is crucial when dealing with biometric data. Accounting for the latest European data privacy regulation and payment service directive, biometric template protection is essential for any commercial application. Ensuring unlinkability across biometric service operators, irreversibility of leaked encrypted templates, and renewability of e.g., voice models following the i-vector paradigm, biometric voice-based systems are prepared for the latest EU data privacy legislation. Employing Paillier cryptosystems, Euclidean and cosine comparators are known to ensure data privacy demands, without loss of discrimination nor calibration performance. Bridging gaps from template protection to speaker recognition, two architectures are proposed for the two-covariance comparator, serving as a generative model in this study. The first architecture preserves privacy of biometric data capture subjects. In the second architecture, model parameters of the comparator are encrypted as well, such that biometric service providers can supply the same comparison modules employing different key pairs to multiple biometric service operators. An experimental proof-of-concept and complexity analysis is carried out on the data from the 2013 – 2014 NIST i-vector machine learning challenge.

THRIVE: Threshold Homomorphic encryption based secure and privacy preserving bIometric VErification system
In this paper, we propose a new biometric verification and template protection system which we call the THRIVE system. The system includes novel enrollment and authentication protocols based on threshold homomorphic cryptosystem where the private key is shared between a user and the verifier. In the THRIVE system, only encrypted binary biometric templates are stored in the database and verifica...
متن کاملTemplate Protection for Fingerprint Recognition System using Fuzzy Vault
In this paper, fuzzy vault scheme is discussed for protection of templates in fingerprint recognition system. As fingerprint recognition system is most commonly used biometric, where minutiae points are stored as templates. If attacker gets this database, fake finger or artificial image can be created. Once biometric is compromised, it cannot be reused. This shows importance of template securit...
