Abstract

Most of the human finds it hard to remember long cryptographic keys and it is highly impossible to remember the lengthy keys used in the cryptosystem nowadays. To overcome this memory related problem, the research community all around the world has been exploring approaches to utilize biometric features of the user to generate the secret key to be utilized in the encryption and decryption process and completely evade the difficulty of remembering the secret keys. This paper focuses on incorporation of the client`s biometric features to generate the secret key, in order to build the key arbitrary to intruder who is lacking of essential information about the client`s biometrics. The features present in the fingerprints are extracted in the form of 16X16 bit matrix and then the binary rows and columns in the extracted feature matrix are processed to produce a foolproof secret key. To strengthen the security measures and to nullify the intruders aim to crack the secret key, this paper blends two fingerprints of the user (sender and the receiver) and produces the secret symmetric key. Since two fingerprints are considered and the key extracted from each fingerprints are fused together in the formation of the secret key, the overall security of the system is improved considerably.
