Aiming at the potential security threat of personal information disclosure in smart homes, a two-factor authentication and key protocol scheme based on fingerprint feature was designed to ensure privacy and secure communication in a smart home environment. The scheme consisted of fingerprint authentication and a key protocol. Fingerprint features were extracted by fuzzy processor to ensure the stability of fingerprint features and effectively prevent the failure of fingerprint extraction caused by subtle changes. The key protocol was used to ensure the security of the communication process. Through performance comparison and security analysis, it was proved that the proposed scheme can meet the security requirements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
