Security of a Biometric Template in Cloud Computing

EasyChair Preprint 2108

Abstract

Cloud computing is in the air nowadays. Almost every organization, industry and institute has either already implemented or in the phase of implementation of cloud and are trying to make out full benefit out of it. This is one of the most secure and optimized method to store data and applications. Whenever one talks about securely retrieving the data, the techniques that come to mind are: token based, password based, digital signature and Biometrics. In this paper, all these methods are briefy described by putting more emphasis on biometrics. Under the umbrella term biometrics, fingerprints are most widely used to access data and applications securely thereby minimizing the errors. Now if fingerprint is so vital, it is important secure a fingerprint sample also. This paper describes various already existing techniques to secure fingerprint and proposes a more optimized one The same technology can be implemented in many other fields where security of data is at premiumCloud computing is in the air nowadays.
