Biometrics Based Secret Sharing Using Fuzzy Vault
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a method for the biometric based secret sharing problem using the fuzzy vault construct is described. The secret is protected using the biometric data of the sharing parties, revealing a secret when a predetermined number of the sharing parties collaborate. The distinction between biometric cryptosystems is discussed. The basic idea of the fuzzy vault scheme is discussed. Finally the secret sharing using fuzzy vault is presented.

The popularity of biometrics and its widespread use introduces privacy risks. To mitigate these risks, solutions such as the helper-data system, fuzzy vault, fuzzy extractors, and cancelable biometrics were introduced, also known as the field of template protection. Fuzzy vault is a practical and promising scheme, which can protect biometric templates and perform secure key management simultane...
