Methods and Algorithms for Generating a Storage Key Based on Biometric Parameters

Abstract

The theoretical basis made it possible to implement software for automated secure biometric verification and personal identification, which can be used by information security systems (including access control and management systems). The work is devoted to solving an urgent problem - the development of methods and algorithms for generating a key for a storage device based on biometric parameters. Biometric cryptosystems take advantage of biometrics to improve the security of encryption keys. The ability not to store a key that is derived from biometric data is a direct advantage of the method of generating cryptographic keys from biometric data of users over other existing encryption methods.
