Biometric encryption is the basis for biometric template protection and information security. While existing methods are based on iris or fingerprint modality, face has so far been considered not reliable enough to meet the requirement for error correcting ability. In this paper, we present a novel biometric key binding method based on near infrared (NIR) face biometric. An enhanced BioHash alg...

Nowadays, the use of biometric characteristics (e.g., palmprints, irises, fingerprints) is incrementing for individual recognition and many applications of biometrics are already available. Biometrics recognition has many advantages over the traditionally used methods (e.g., password, smart card), because biometric characteristics cannot be shared or forgotten, as it is inherently associated wi...

The use of biometrics as a secure remote authentication mechanism is hindered by a series of issues. In the case of fingerprints, an attacker can make physical copies of fingerprints by ‘lifting’ latent fingerprints off a non-porous surface. These lifted fingerprints can be used to illegitimately gain access to an authentication system. Password authentication systems only accept passwords that...

Due to the exponential growth in the World Wide Web and digital media, providing the security for the data has become one of the crucial issue. This situation has made researchers to look towards developing data encryption algorithms for addressing privacy and security issues in RFID. In this article, a simple and effective data encryption model for biometric data of RFID tags are addressed. Th...

In this paper we present an effective scheme that preserves the biometric templates more secured. We present a new algorithm called Enhanced Blind Encryption Algorithm for securing biometric templates between client and server and using that for authentication. There are four phases involved in this process namely, enrollment, identification, matching and fusion. During enrollment, biometric tr...

A privacy-preserving biometric matching technique for binary vectors more efficient than the Goldwasser-Micali approach has been proposed in “Customisation of Paillier Homomorphic Encryption for Efficient Binary Biometric Feature Vector Matching [PPRU14]” based on exploiting Paillier’s capability of encrypting messages larger than one bit at a time. We demonstrate that the suggested solution do...

We propose a multimedia content protection framework that is based on biometric data of the users and a layered encryption/decryption scheme. Password-only encryption schemes are vulnerable to illegal key exchange problems. By using biometric data along with hardware identifiers as keys, it is possible to alleviate fraudulent usage of protected content. A combination of symmetric and asymmetric...

Nowadays ,due to the rapid development of multimedia and digital technology the transmission over public channel become more and more. Also the issues with the confidentiality and integrity of data increases in an alarming rate. So that the personal identification information or biometric signatures requires a security technique to protect from the any of the unauthorized access. Biometric sign...
