Biometric based Network Video Security System with RSA Implementation

Abstract

Biometric is a method for uniquely identifying a person or verifying the identity of a person based on one or more physiological or behavioral traits. Since the biometric data that does not change over the course of the life, it is used as an effective authentication and access control measure. The RSA algorithm is widely used for encryption and authentication. RSA is an algorithm for public-key cryptography which increases security and convenience. It is the first algorithm known to be suitable for signing as well as encryption, and was one of the first great advances in public key cryptography. Fingerprints are one of many forms of biometrics used to identify individuals and verify their identity. The proposed Biometric-Crypto system generates a Cryptographic key from the fingerprints for Encrypting and decrypting the video file. If the Video file traverses via the Internet to reach a destination, it is susceptible to a number of attacks. A way to protect the video file is to encrypt the video file using RSA algorithm with the novel method of Biometric Fingerprint based Key Generation technique.
