Biometric Safeguards and Risks

Biometric Safeguarding

Itakura and Tsujii are proposing to allow an external organization, such as PKI, to issue biological certification as a way to ensure the validity of biological information. (Itkura, 2005) It would consist of three cryptographic keys; a public key and two secret keys. The public key would be defined as the representative template for personal biological information registration. The algorithm selects the representative template to be stored in the Biometric Specific Memory Block defined by CBEFF standards. The two secret keys would be done separate from the public key and each other to ensure the guarantee of the security of the overall personal authentication. They would be defined as a random number generated by conventional mathematical calculation. The public key and the first secret key would work together to guarantee the security of the information. In case that the public key and the first...
