DEVELOPMENT OF CRYPTO-BIOMETRIC SYSTEM USING FINGERPRINT AND RSA MODEL FOR SECURE COMMUNICATION

Abstract

A communication system is a system model that describes a communication exchange between two stations, transmitter and receiver. The application of cryptography is treated as the most effective solution to ensure the secure transmission of data. Cryptographic drawbacks cause such systems to cryptanalysis by malicious individuals, resulting in most data breaches. As an alternative, this system proposes a framework that provides solution to communication system by integrating biometrics with cryptography. The system developed makes use of the combination of public key RSA system with fingerprint, which is the most popularly used biometric. This research work ensures the security of messages communicated between the two users and the maintenance of a secure authentication mechanism. The developed system is based on privacy-preserving architecture. It could be used as an access control system as well as an internal communication mechanism for many organizations.
