Abstract
Data Security is the Major problem in Cloud Computing. In order to overcome the data security problem the proposed technique utilizes effective data storage using biometric-based cryptographic authentication to support the user authentication for the cloud environment. For user authentication here we are considering iris and fingerprint. Initially the feature values are extracted from the iris and fingerprint using local binary pattern and Minutiae extraction respectively. Local binary pattern operator works with the eight neighbors of a pixel, using the value of this center pixel as a threshold. Minutiae points are the major features of a fingerprint image and are used in the matching of fingerprints. These minutiae points are used to determine the uniqueness of a fingerprint image. Based on that the proposed feature values are extracted from the iris and fingerprint image. In order to improve the security, the suggested technique utilizes the optimal features. For selecting the optimal features hybrid particle swarm optimization and genetic algorithm (HPSOGA) is utilized. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a population based stochastic optimization technique. The system is initialized with a population of random solutions and searches for optima by updating generations. In PSO, the potential solutions, called particles, fly through the problem space by following the current optimum particles. Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are adaptive heuristic search algorithm based on the evolutionary ideas of natural selection and genetics. In our proposed method these two optimization algorithm is hybrid for more secure. From the optimization algorithm the suggested technique selects the optimal features. and then the optimal features are used to encrypt the input data. For encryption and decryption, the proposed technique utilizes Triple DES algorithm. Finally the encrypted data is stored in cloud. The performance of the proposed technique is evaluated in terms of encryption and decryption time, memory utilization and overall execution time. Our proposed data storage using biometric-based authentication is implemented with the help of Cloud simulator in the working platform of java.
