Abstract

In traditional cryptosystems, user authentication is based on

possession of secret keys/tokens. Such keys can be forgotten,

lost, stolen, or may be illegally shared, but an ability to relate

a cryptographic key to biometric data can enhance the

trustworthiness of a system. This paper presents a new

approach to generating encryption keys directly from

biometrics.
