Authentication Protocol using Fuzzy Eigenface Vault based on MoC

Abstract

In this paper, the eigenface-based fuzzy vault scheme, called a fuzzy eigenface vault, is designed and examined, and authentication protocol using the fuzzy eigenface vault is designed based on a smartcard and analyzed security of the proposed authentication protocol. Especially, face recognition for user authentication has several advantages such as natural, nonintrusive, convenience, and easy to use. However, it is difficult to apply biometrics on cryptographic security because of different images in each acquisition phase. Furthermore face data can be vulnerable to modification attack and illegally let out. From that, the need of secure biometrics authentication methods has been increased and we propose a new authentication protocol using fuzzy eigenface vault and smart card.The proposed protocol has three advantages compared to previous works. First, to get security, accuracy and convenience without reluctance at same time, we use eigenface in a fuzzy vault scheme which is suitable to combine biometric authentication and cryptography. Second, to enhance security, secret data which is for construction of the fuzzy eigenface vault is saved on a smart card. Third, to reduce a transmission-based attack, a transmission of message is occurred just one time in a login phase.

Review of key‐binding‐based biometric data protection schemes

“…Apart from the works discussed until now, there exist some more theories which integrate the fuzzy framework and the facial data. Among them are the fuzzy eigenface vault developed in [55] and RS code‐based face template protection scheme [56]. More recently, an exciting new prospect of using face‐based FV for securing data in a distributed cloud computing environment was explored in [57].…”

Public Auditing with Privacy Protection in a Multi-User Model of Cloud-Assisted Body Sensor Networks

“…For processing physiological information of users in WBSNs, various inside-body authentication schemes have been proposed [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ]. In [ 14 , 15 ], the inter-pulse interval of Electrocardiogram (ECG) and Photoplethysmogram (PPG) have been used to generate cryptographic keys for encryption and authentication.…”

“…In [ 16 , 17 ], the frequency coefficients of ECG and PPG have been used to generate a cryptographic key. In [ 18 ], Jules and Sudan put forward the idea of a fuzzy vault, which is widely used in the field of biometric authentication [ 19 , 20 , 21 ]. A Physiological Signal Key Agreement scheme (PSKA) based on fuzzy vault has also been proposed [ 22 ].…”

Face Recognition and Template Protection with Shielding Function

“…This scheme has lower computational complexity, but requires more storage than the one based on the generic fuzzy vault. MoC-based fuzzy eigenface vault [23] is a two-factor authentication mechanism used to secure Eigen faces in a fuzzy vault. The secret information used for constructing of the fuzzy vault is stored on a smart card.…”
