A Biometric Identity Based Signature Scheme
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe an identity based signature scheme that uses biometric information to construct the public key. Such a scheme would be beneficial in a legal dispute over whether a contract had been signed or not by a user. A biometric reading provided by the alleged signer would be enough to verify the signature. We make use of Fuzzy extractors [7] to generate a key string from a biometric measurement. We use this biometric based key string and an elliptic curve point embedding technique [13] to create the public key and corresponding private key. We then make use of a pairing based signature scheme [5] to perform signing and verification with these keys. We describe a possible attack on this system and suggest ways to combat it. Finally we describe how such a biometric signature scheme can be developed by reusing existing components in our Java Identity Based Encryption implementation. The design allows traditional as well as biometric identity based signatures. [8].

A New Special Biometric Identity Based Signature Scheme
We propose a new special identity based signature scheme that make uses of fractal transform and entropy arrangement algorithm to generate the public key string from a biometric measurement of signer. A biometric reading provided by the alleged signer would be enough to verify the signature. The characteristic of this scheme is that When verifier finished the verification on the signature, he c...
متن کاملBiometric Identity Based Signature Revisited
In this paper, we describe a new biometric Identity Based Signature (IBS) scheme based on the Sakai Kasahara Key Construction and prove its security in the framework of a stronger security model compared to exisiting adversarial models. Besides, we present a new type of a denial of service (DoS) attack and evaluate existing biometric IBS schemes in this context. Based on the recently defined pr...
متن کاملDouble voter perceptible blind signature based electronic voting protocol
Mu et al. have proposed an electronic voting protocol and claimed that it protects anonymity of voters, detects double voting and authenticates eligible voters. It has been shown that it does not protect voter's privacy and prevent double voting. After that, several schemes have been presented to fulfill these properties. However, many of them suffer from the same weaknesses. In this p...
