Raising Security of Fingerprint Biometric Systems- using Advanced Encryption Scheme
نویسنده
چکیده
Securing biometrics databases from being compromised is major challenge, it must be overcome in order to support widespread use of biometrics based authentication. In this paper we present a cryptographic technique for enhanced security of fingerprint information using RC4 enrichment algorithm approach. RC4 algorithm is already used for image encryption. This paper is about encryption and decryption of images using a stream cipher called RC4, to increase fingerprint security and improved performance. We have also proved the efficiency of proposed approach using simulation in MATLAB. Keywords— : biometrics, computer security, encryption, decryption, information security, stream ciphers.

متن کاملMultibiometric Based Secure Encryption, Authentication Scheme with Fuzzy Extractor
Encryption and authentication schemes suffice for the security of information stored or exchanged by different parties, but secure key generation and distribution is a highly non-trivial matter in cryptography. Fuzzy extractor is a security primitive, which can be used to encrypt and authenticate a message using his biometric b to reproduce extraction of an almost uniformly key from non-uniform...
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...

The Fuzzy Vault scheme is an encryption scheme, which can tolerate errors in the keys. This leads to the possibility of enhancing the security in environments where these errors can be common, such as biometrics storage systems. Although several researchers have provided implementations, we find that the scheme is vulnerable to attacks when not properly used. This paper describes an attack on t...

In general, the identification and verification are done by passwords, pin number, etc., which are easily cracked by others. In order to, overcome this issue biometrics is a unique tool to authenticate an individual person. Biometric is a quantity which consists of an individual physical characteristics of fingerprint, Finger Knuckle Print (FKP), iris, face and so on. These characteristics are ...
