A cancelable biometric based secure session key agreement protocol employing elliptic curve cryptography

Cryptography is the common compelling recommendation for reliable communication of data. A cryptographic key is a meaningful thing in this system. Despite, such key demands to be collected in a secured place or carried through a distributed communication line which, in actuality, poses another alert to safety. As a substitute, researchers affirm the creation of cryptographic key utilizing the biometric features of both sender and receiver throughout the sessions of communication, thus bypassing key sharing through the insecure channel and at the very time without imperiling the power in safety. Nonetheless, the biometric-based cryptographic key formation contains few matters so as the secrecy of biometrics, distributing of biometric data among both communicating users, and creating the revocable key of irrevocable biometric. Aforementioned work discusses the above-mentioned concerns. Here a structure for reliable communication among two users using cancelable fingerprint based session key agreement protocol has been suggested. For this, communication a session key is created by both communicating parties at their end using their cancelable fingerprint biometrics. In this aforementioned method, each original biometric data is converted into a cancelable biometric data and the revocable key for session key agreement protocol is created from the cancelable fingerprint of the communicating parties. For better performance and security purposes, all the actions of this protocol are based on elliptic curve cryptography. Proposed protocol precludes undesired third-parties from requiring a key selection on this agreeing parties. Based on the experimental evaluation across four datasets of FVC2002, the proposed structure is privacy-preserving and is excellently fitting for various real-time biometric-based applicability.
