Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris |
SmadcIrds oi1a' a new paradigm tOr autIten1ic'8tiOll. Now? USItIS? priWb} keys
are stored on s:martcards.. 1'hese users can prove their identity by using the card to
provide a correctly signed message to an autheIdkation senet'. RdyiDg 00 the
security ofpublic-tey authen? the new task is to protect the private key 00 the
smark:a.rd itself: It's believe that biometric audlenticati? is a pmc&aI method of
providing this protection.
For the purpose ofdris project, an approach is described for encrypting a
cryptographic k.ey ftom an individual's biometric infonnation fur use in proven
symmetric cipher a1gorithms. Juels and Sudan's fuzey vault is used as a starting point
for building and analyzing a secure authentication scheme using fingerprints as a
biometric infonnation and smartcards called a Fingerprint Vault. The proposed
approach needs a biometric matching algorithm to authenticate user's smartcard. |
