ElGamel Encryption for Biometric Database Protection
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 biometric database protection using ElGamel encryption technique. The algorithm was successfully tested on a binary image, gray image and a colour image.

Biometric Database Protection using Public Key Cryptography
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 ...
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...
