ENHANCING THE SECURITY STRENGTH OF CLOUD COMPUTING THROUGH BIOMETRIC TEMPLATE PROTECTION SCHEME.

摘要

Biometric technologies are becoming the key aspect of a wide range of secure identification and personal verification solutions, but in a cloud computing environment they present some problems related to the management of biometric data, due to privacy regulations and the need to trust cloud providers. To overcome these problems, a hybrid template protection scheme is proposed by combining both cancellable biometrics (CB) and biometric key generation (KG) with feature discretisation based on random tiling and a modified version of 2N discretisation which can be applied to cloud computing in which no private biometric data are exposed. Our invention focuses on adequate security mechanisms that should potentially meet the legal requirements of traditional systems. The invention is described by way of example with reference to the following drawings where Figure 1 of sheet 1 shows Cloud Deployment Models, Figure 2 of sheet 1 shows Cloud computing service delivery models, Figure 3 of sheet 2 shows working model of proposed system.
