A Verifiable Fingerprint Vault Scheme
نویسندگان
چکیده
By adopting a non-interactive information-theoretic secure verifiable secret sharing scheme in an unorthodox way, a verifiable fingerprint vault scheme is presented in this paper. Fuzzy vault scheme is a novel cryptographic construct which can increase the security of the biometric template in a biometric authentication system. It can be also used to bind the cryptographic key and the user in a cryptosystem to overcome the security problems caused by the key stolen, key illegally shared, etc. The main weakness of the scheme is the computation complexity is too high for the legitimate user to unlock the vault. In this paper, a verifiable fingerprint vault is proposed to improve the fuzzy vault scheme. It is shown that our scheme is effective.

Template 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...
متن کاملAn alignment-free fingerprint cryptosystem based on fuzzy vault scheme
Fuzzy vault is a practical and promising scheme, which can protect biometric templates and perform secure key management simultaneously. Alignment of the template biometric sample and the query one in the encrypted domain remains a challenging task. While implementing fuzzy fingerprint vault, the accuracy of alignment in encrypted domain cannot be ensured and the information leakage may be caus...
متن کاملSecurity analysis for fingerprint fuzzy vaults
In this work we place some of the traditional biometrics work on fingerprint verification via the fuzzy vault scheme within a cryptographic framework. We show that the breaking of a fuzzy vault leads to decoding of Reed-Solomon codes from random errors, which has been proposed as a hard problem in the cryptography community. We provide a security parameter for the fuzzy vault in terms of the de...
متن کاملA collusion attack on the fuzzy vault scheme
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...
متن کاملHardening Fingerprint Fuzzy Vault Using Password
Security of stored templates is a critical issue in biometric systems because biometric templates are non-revocable. Fuzzy vault is a cryptographic framework that enables secure template storage by binding the template with a uniformly random key. Though the fuzzy vault framework has proven security properties, it does not provide privacy-enhancing features such as revocability and protection a...
