Multimedia content protection via biometrics-based encryption
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a multimedia content protection framework that is based on biometric data of the users and a layered encryption/decryption scheme. Password-only encryption schemes are vulnerable to illegal key exchange problems. By using biometric data along with hardware identifiers as keys, it is possible to alleviate fraudulent usage of protected content. A combination of symmetric and asymmetric key systems is utilized for this purpose. The computational requirements and applicability of the proposed method are addressed. The results of encryption and decryption experiments related to time measurements are included. Watermarking systems can be used to complement the proposed method to permit novel uses of protected multimedia data.

A Secured Biometric Framework for Multimedia Content Protection
The multimedia content protection has become a boon for an IT industry nowadays. This scheme is based on layered encryption/decryption involving biometric authentication. Utilization of fingerprints as keys in encryption/decryption procedures eliminates the feasibility of illegal key sharing, which hampers the content protection schemes based solely on traditional keys. The computation times re...
متن کاملA Public-Key Approach of Selective Encryption for Images
Data security protection is essential for most multimedia data transmissions today. Classical multimedia content protection is dominated by symmetric encryption methods. This paper explores the possibility of public-key media content encryption. The key problem to the asymmetric selective encryption is formalized and defined as the “bounded plaintext problem”. Possible solutions to this problem...
