Cryptographic Key Generation using Retina Biometric Parameter

Crypto Biometrics system is recently emerging as an effective process to generate a cryptographic key. Conventional cryptographic key generation is using password which can be guessed or cracked. Further, the large size of strong key results in delay while encryption / decryption. Biometric field has however emerged in the recent days to reduce process delay and enhances the level of accuracy. This paper thus aims to analyze various biometric parameters that can be applied in realizing enhanced networking security. The proposed approach further reduces the cost associated with lost key and provides increased security. The key is directly generated from the human biometric information such as retinal blood vessels which is not stored in the database. This mode of operations in network security creates more complexity for hackers to crack or to guess the cryptographic key or biometric key.
