Biometric authentication systems are increasingly deployed in critical security applications, yet the irreplaceable nature of biometric traits poses fundamental risks when templates are compromised. Unlike passwords or tokens, biometric data cannot b...
Homomorphic encryption solutions tend to be costly in terms of memory and computational resources, making them difficult to implement. In this paper, we present Kyber AHE, a lightweight additive homomorphic encryption scheme for computing the additio...
Authentication systems that employ biometrics are commonplace, as they offer a convenient means of authenticating an individual’s identity. However, these systems give rise to concerns about security and privacy due to insecure template managem...
Facial biometric templates are permanent identifiers: once exposed, the underlying identity cannot be reissued, so single-copy storage is a critical single point of failure. This study protects facial templates by combining a non-invertible BioHashin...
Biometric authentication systems raise certain concerns with regard to security, violation of privacy, and storage issues of biometric templates. This paper proposes a protection approach of biometric templates storage in a multimodal biometric syste...
Privacy plays an important role in biometric authentication systems. Touch authentication systems have been widely used since touch devices reached their current level of development. In this work, a fuzzy commitment scheme (FCS) is proposed based on...
Trustworthy AI applications such as biometric authentication must be implemented in a secure manner so that a malefactor is not able to take advantage of the knowledge and use it to make decisions. The goal of the present work is to increase the reli...
In the existing cancellable finger vein template protection schemes, the original biometric features cannot be well protected, which results in poor security. In addition, the performance of matching recognition performances after generating a cancel...
Biometric template protection (BTP) schemes are implemented to increase public confidence in biometric systems regarding data privacy and security in recent years. The introduction of BTP has naturally incurred loss of information for security, which...
Face recognition systems are widely used for biometric authentication but face two major problems. First, processing high-resolution images and large databases requires extensive computational time. Second, emerging quantum computers threaten to brea...
This work is devoted to the development of a biometric authentication system and the generation of a cryptographic key or a long password of 1024 bits based on a voice password, which ensures the protection of a biometric template from compromise. A...
The fuzzy vault is an innovative way to share secret keys, combining traditional cryptography with biometrics and biometric template protection. This method forms the basis for the reliable operation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) through anonymi...
The security of biometric data is a critical challenge in modern information security due to their uniqueness and non-revocability. Compromise of biometric characteristics leads to irreversible consequences; therefore, storing or transmitting them in...
Face recognition technology has developed rapidly in recent years, and a large number of applications based on face recognition have emerged. Because the template generated by the face recognition system stores the relevant information of facial biom...
Biometric systems are increasingly replacing traditional password- and token-based authentication systems. Security and recognition accuracy are the two most important aspects to consider in designing a biometric system. In this paper, a comprehensiv...
Homomorphic encryption is a powerful mechanism that allows sensitive data, such as biometric data, to be compared in a protected way, revealing only the comparison result when the private key is known. This is very useful for non-device-centric authe...
In a biometric authentication system using protected templates, a pseudonymous identifier is the part of a protected template that can be directly compared. Each compared pair of pseudonymous identifiers results in a decision testing whether both ide...
Iris has been found to be unique and consistent over time despite its random nature. Unprotected biometric (iris) template raises concerns in security and privacy, as numerous large-scale iris recognition projects have been deployed worldwide—f...
Modern access controls employ biometrics as a means of authentication to a great extent. For example, biometrics is used as an authentication mechanism implemented on commercial devices such as smartphones and laptops. This paper presents a fingerpri...
Biometric sensing systems enable accurate identity recognition using unique physiological traits. These systems can be unimodal (single trait) or multimodal (multiple traits, such as iris and fingerprint). Biometric templates, digital representations...
The development of 5G networks has rapidly increased the use of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices for control, monitoring, and processing purposes. Biometric-based user authentication can prevent unauthorized access to IIoT devices, thereb...
The proliferation of biometric technology across various domains including user identification, financial services, healthcare, security, law enforcement, and border control introduces convenience in user identity verification while necessitating rob...
The modern encryption methods are reliable if strong keys (passwords) are used, but the human factor issue cannot be solved by cryptographic methods. The best variant is binding all authenticators (passwords, encryption keys, and others) to the ident...
