Revolutionizing the “DULL” Passport

Abstract

In the proposed technique, the first idea of a novel elucidation has been proposed to shelter dull Passport. The contemporary state of dull Passport be defeated by proper Passport verification along with Passport owner authentication. The proposed solution space ensures security against these two which is candidly adoptable in the current milieu of India. As Verification and Authentication are two special stream of Cryptography; the only way to lock facts, proposed contrivance is based on Visual Cryptography and Palm Vein based authentication practice. As a fact of multimedia data hiding, Visual Cryptography is a well-known method of encrypting images into several shares where stacking corresponding shares reveals secrets without intervention of any electronic devices. Palm Vein based biometric is already implemented for user authentication in many countries throughout the world. It is an on-going technology which is very easy to implement and cost effective with respect to resources and time. The said proposal will verify dull Passport through Visual Cryptography and authenticate dull Passport holder at various checkpoints through Palm Vein Authentication in the form of a Multilayer cryptographic technique. The performance of the proposed Visual Cryptographic algorithm is also compared with some existing algorithms. The comparisons shows that the proposed algorithm is better than the existing algorithms with respect to space requirement, Meaningfulness, and security.
