Detection of PARD Attack on Secure Authentication System Based on Fingerprint Impression

Abstract

The trustworthy information security mechanisms are required to contend with the rising atrociousness of identity theft in the cyber and electronic society, the biometric like fingerprint authentication can be used to ensure that only the legitimate user can access to intended system. Although the biometric authentication systems are very secured but the biometric systems are also exposed to a number of attacks like ersatz feature attacks, Brute force, Hill climbing attacks, Replay attacks, Latent print attacks, worm attacks, Dead feature attacks, Software leaks and Use of force attacks are most typical and vital to biometric security parts, so it is important to address the issue of secure design of the biometric system, Therefore, in this paper a PARD attack on secure authenticated system to identify that the system is able to detect the attack done by the interlopers is proposed. Thus, a combination of extracted fingerprint features and biocrypto key will entail generating a secure authentication system based on fingerprint impression meant for PARD attack using fingerprint verification through extracting and matching minutiae, and to incorporate the instability of the user's biometric features into the generated key, so as to make the key unguessable to an attacker lacking significant knowledge of the user's biometrics.
