Design of Secured Key Generation Algorithm using Fingerprint Based Biometric Modality

Many high-secure applications are using biometrics for natural, user-friendly and quick authentication. Cryptography is meant to make sure the secrecy and authenticity of message and protecting the confidentiality of the cryptographic keys is one among the numerous problems to be dealt with. Researchers are examining suggests that to utilize biometric options of the user to get sturdy and repeatable cryptographic keys rather than a memorable password. This may be efficiently solved by the combination of biometrics with cryptography. This paper presents ways for generating the strong bio-crypt key based mostly on fingerprint. Fingerprint biometric modality is predominantly thought of due to its two vital characteristics uniqueness and permanence that's ability to stay unchanged over the lifetime. I. INTRODUCTION Among all the biometric modalities, fingerprint-based identification is the oldest methodology, that has been successfully employed in numerous applications. Most are known to possess distinctive, immutable fingerprints. The individuality of a fingerprint will be determined by the pattern of ridges and furrows as well as the trivialities points. Trivialities points are native ridge characteristics that occur at either a ridge bifurcation or a ridge ending.
