Abstract:

Biometric based cybersecurity technologies offer significant advantages in authentication, identification, and access control mechanisms. Convenience and fraud prevention requirements in systems create a growing demand for biometric solutions in a wide range of sectors and applications, such as mobile, healthcare, record and personnel management, banking, and border security. Therefore, it is essential to address security and privacy issues in the use and storage of biometric data. Traditional cryptographic primitives are somewhat limited to address such issues in real life applications. In this talk, I will motivate the need for new approaches to secure biometric data, describe some cryptographic primitives, their implementation, and discuss some future research directions.
