Biometrics & Cryptography
Written by Shimon // October 18, 2008 // Cryptography, Research Discussion // Comments Off
Biometrics and cryptography have long been seen as competing technologies. Researchers and from the BSPA Lab and CERIAS are actively involved in creating security mechanisms which sees both technologies are symbiotic rather than competitive.
This work is researching methodologies to fuse biometrics with cryptography while keeping in mind the following criteria:
-
Practicality and ease of use
-
User Choice for Higher Assurance Option
-
User Acceptance
-
Multi-factor scalability
-
Unlinkability of different enrollments performed using the same biometric
