Human users find difficult to remember long cryptographic keys. Therefore, researchers, for
a long time period, have been investigating ways to use biometric features of the user rather …

Despite their usability advantages over traditional authentication systems, biometrics-based
authentication systems suffer from inherent privacy violation and non-revocability issues. In …

This overview paper outlines our views of actual security of biometric authentication and
encryption systems. The attractiveness of some novel approaches like cryptographic key …

Although the use of biometrics for security access is convenient and easy to be
implemented, it also introduced privacy and other security concerns when the original …

In this paper, we present a method for secret key generation and recovery based on iris
verification that, unlike typical systems which store iris templates persistently, stores recovery …

We present algorithms to reliably generate biometric identifiers from a user's biometric
image which in turn is used for identity verification possibly in conjunction with cryptographic …

Traditional methods of identity recognition are based on the knowledge of a password or a
PIN, or possession factors such as tokens and ID cards. Such strategies usually afford low …

Biometrics is an identification technology widely used in physical access control and
forensics. Cryptography is the science for information security. People generally agreed that …

Securing information during its storage and transmission is an important and widely
addressed issue. Generally, cryptographic techniques are used for information security …
