Biometric Database Protection using Public Key Cryptography
نویسنده
چکیده
With the increasing need for stringent security measures in recent times, biometric systems have assumed greater importance for information security systems. For biometric systems to offer reliable security, they themselves have to satisfy high security requirements to ensure invulnerability. This paper proposes two different approaches based on RSA and Elliptic curve cryptography for database protection of biometric authentication systems. Use of K-means algorithm is also proposed for the generation of encryption and decryption keys from the biometric templates. In this paper, implementation of public key algorithms has been realized for experimental purposes and the results thus obtained have been critically verified.

A Biometric Key-Binding and Template Protection Framework Using Correlation Filters
We describe a new framework to bind cryptographic keys with biometric signatures using correlation filters. This scheme combines correlation filter based biometric recognition with biometric key-binding while offering template protection, revocability, diversity and security. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our scheme via numerical results on the CMU-PIE face database.

متن کاملElGamel Encryption for Biometric Database Protection
The critical issues in biometric systems are protecting the template of a user which is stored in a data base. An attack against the stored templates constitutes a major security and privacy threat in a biometric system. Proper use of cryptography greatly reduces the threats in biometric system as the attackers have to find the decryption key and template. This paper proposes an approach for bi...
