2. Background Secure Authentication Using Biometric Data Secure Authentication Using Biometric Data By Xavier Boyen, Yevgeniy Dodis, Jonathan Katz, Rafail Ostrovsky, Adam Smith By Xavier Boyen, Yevgeniy Dodis, Jonathan Katz, Rafail Ostrovsky, Adam Smith Trying to implement design Trying to implement design Interested in Cryptography Interested in Cryptography

3. The Plan Using Biometric Data in a Cryptographic protocol Using Biometric Data in a Cryptographic protocol Using Fingerprints Using Fingerprints Goal Goal Use fingerprint reader to read in data Use fingerprint reader to read in data Use algorithm to overcome “randomness” Use algorithm to overcome “randomness” Use readout as secret in a cryptographic protocol Use readout as secret in a cryptographic protocol

4. Possible End States Low Knowledge of Fingerprints Low Knowledge of Fingerprints Assumptions made by paper might not fit Assumptions made by paper might not fit Possible end Goals Possible end Goals Build the system and test it Build the system and test it If fingerprints aren’t hamming distance, try to come up with algorithm to make them so If fingerprints aren’t hamming distance, try to come up with algorithm to make them so Come up with new way of analyzing fingerprints Come up with new way of analyzing fingerprints Modify the protocol in paper to work with fingerprint distribution (if not hamming). Modify the protocol in paper to work with fingerprint distribution (if not hamming).
