چکیده
The security of multimedia information in general and the security of visual information in particular have increasingly become an issue of great concern in our networked society. Biometrics, cryptography and data hiding provide effective and often complementary solutions to information security from different perspectives. In this paper, we present a brief overview on the state-of-the-art of research on the security enhancement of biometrics, cryptography and data hiding by their combinations, with focus on the problems of cryptographic key management and biometric template protection. This paper is intended to provide a reference point for newcomers and to promote more activities in these important security issues.

Improving security of double random phase encoding with chaos theory using fractal images
This study presents a new method based on the combination of cryptography and information hiding methods. Firstly, the image is encoded by the Double Random Phase Encoding (DRPE) technique. The real and imaginary parts of the encoded image are subsequently embedded into an enlarged normalized host image. DRPE demands two random phase mask keys to decode the decrypted image at the destination. T...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Unique Biometric-based Cryptographic Key Generation with Repeatability using Brain Signals
Network security is very important when sending confidential data through the network. Cryptography is the science of hiding information, and a combination of cryptography solutions with cognitive science starts a new branch called cognitive cryptography that guarantee the confidentiality and integrity of the data. Brain signals as a biometric indicator can convert to a binary code which can be...
متن کاملBiometric encryption using enhanced finger print image and elliptic curve
The greatest strength of biometrics is that it does not change over time. But at the same time while using it directly for enhancing the security in network system, if that data has been compromised, its compromised forever[1]. Therefore, cancellable biometrics will increase the privacy which means that the true biometrics are never stored or revealed to the authentication server. Biometrics, c...
متن کاملStatistical Hiding Fuzzy Commitment Scheme for Securing Biometric Templates
By considering the security flaws in cryptographic hash functions, any commitment scheme designed straight through hash function usage in general terms is insecure. In this paper, we develop a general fuzzy commitment scheme called an ordinary fuzzy commitment scheme (OFCS), in which many fuzzy commitment schemes with variety complexity assumptions is constructed. The scheme is provably statist...
متن کاملVisual Cryptography Using Palm Print Based on DCT Algorithm
In many applications, Palm print data hiding can be viewed as a trade-off between capacity, robustness (against attacks), and embedding induced distortion. In this paper, we consider the security of the hidden information. Specifically, we propose a system that increases the security of the hidden data by biometric system. Multi-pixel Visual Cryptography for color images to generate two meaning...
