چکیده

Our modern day era faces an inevitable problem of securing our most integrated data and messages. The chief problem is to protect our data in a unique way that could only be worked upon by the sender and the recipient. Most of the traditional techniques probably in-use today, emphasizes on keys that are generated by generic function, algorithms or in random key generators. But question remains whether this key is unique and authentic in nature. Moreover how can these keys be unique to one and one person only? The answer to this would be Biometric Cryptosystems. Biometric Cryptosystems are the newest members in the field of security. The very basis of this Biometric Cryptosystem lies on the very fact that some features of human body are significantly unique to each and every human in the world, such as fingerprint, DNA sequence, Iris, etc. Using those biometric we can generate an exclusive key that will be unique for each and every individual. Now having generated these keys we can use them for encrypting our message. And as because these keys are uniquely generated for individual persons there’s no chance of there will be a matching keys. Moreover as we use RSA algorithm based encryption technique so the encryption lies on two basic sets of keys to decrypt the message. Hence, eavesdropper or third unwanted parties have to acquire two set of keys which adds up to security level of the encryption and hence protect the message from unwanted third parties from acquiring our secret message.

High Secure Crypto Biometric Authentication Protocol

Concerns on widespread use of biometric authentication systems are primarily centered around template security, revocability, and privacy. The use of cryptographic primitives to bolster the authentication process can alleviate some of these concerns as shown by biometric cryptosystems. In this paper, we propose a provably secure and blind biometric authentication protocol, which addresses the c...

QTRU: quaternionic version of the NTRU public-key cryptosystems

In this paper we will construct a lattice-based public-key cryptosystem using non-commutative quaternion algebra, and since its lattice does not fully fit within Circular and Convolutional Modular Lattice (CCML), we prove it is arguably more secure than the existing lattice-based cryptosystems such as NTRU. As in NTRU, the proposed public-key cryptosystem relies for its inherent securi...

SESOS: A Verifiable Searchable Outsourcing Scheme for Ordered Structured Data in Cloud Computing

While cloud computing is growing at a remarkable speed, privacy issues are far from being solved. One way to diminish privacy concerns is to store data on the cloud in encrypted form. However, encryption often hinders useful computation cloud services. A theoretical approach is to employ the so-called fully homomorphic encryption, yet the overhead is so high that it is not considered a viable s...

Biometric cryptosystems: authentication, encryption and signature for biometric identities

Zusammenfassung) Biometrics have been used for secure identification and authentication for more than two decades since biometric data is unique, non-transferable, unforgettable, and always with us. Recently, biometrics has pervaded other aspects of security applications that can be listed under the topic of “Biometric Cryptosystems”. Although the security of some of these systems is questionab...

Comparison of two Public Key Cryptosystems

Since the time public-key cryptography was introduced by Diffie andHellman in 1976, numerous public-key algorithms have been proposed. Some of thesealgorithms are insecure and the others that seem secure, many are impractical, eitherthey have too large keys or the cipher text they produce is much longer than theplaintext. This paper focuses on efficient implementation and analysis of two mostpo...
