Implementation of Secure Hash Algorithm – 3 for Biometric Fingerprint Access Control Based on Arduino Mega 2560

Abstract

Biometric recognition refers to the use of distinctive anatomical (e.g., fingerprints, face, iris) and behavioral (e.g., speech) characteristics, called biometric identifiers or traits or characteristics for automatically recognizing individuals. Fingerprint has advantages that we don't need to bring a card or remember a password and the most important thing is fingerprint could not be shared or transferred. Biometric fingerprint authentication has many advantages, but biometric fingerprint authentication has a weakness in fingerprint template that can be stolen and the attacker can reconstructs fingerprint template to fingerprint image. In this paper, we introduce an implementation of SHA-3 hash function for fingerprint template on biometric fingerprint authentication based Arduino Mega 2560. This paper describes about how to secures fingerprint template with SHA-3 from attacker that want to reconstructs fingerprint template to fingerprint image.
