An Efficient Selective Encryption of Fingerprint Images for Embedded Processors

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Biometric-based authentication can provide a strong
security guarantee of the identity of users. However, the
security of biometric data is particularly important as any
compromise of the biometric data will be permanent. In
this paper, we propose a secure and efficient protocol to
transmit fingerprint images from a fingerprint sensor to a
client by exploiting the characteristics of the fingerprint
images. Because the fingerprint sensor is computationally
limited, a standard encryption algorithm may not be
applied to the full fingerprint images in real-time to
guarantee the integrity and confidentiality of the
fingerprint images transmitted. To reduce the
computational workload on the resource-constrained
sensor, we apply the encryption algorithm to a nonce for
integrity and to a specific bitplane of each pixel of the
fingerprint image for confidentiality. Experimental results
show that the integrity and confidentiality of the
fingerprint images can be guaranteed without any leakage
of the fingerprint ridge information and can be completed
in real-time on embedded processors.
