Abstract
Biometric Cryptosystems for secret binding such as fuzzy vault and fuzzy commitment are provable secure and offers a convenient way for secret management and protection. Despite numerous practical schemes have been reported, they are deficient in resisting several security and privacy attacks. In this paper, we propose a novel bio-cryptosystem that based on the three key ingredients namely Index of Maximum (IoM) hashing, $(m, k)$ ( m , k ) threshold secret sharing and b -band mini vaults notion. The IoM hashing is motivated from the ranking based Locality Sensitive Hashing theory meant for non-invertible transformation. On the other hand, the $(m, k)$ ( m , k ) threshold secret sharing scheme and the b -band mini vaults manage overcome inherent limitations of biometric cryptosystems when integrated with IoM hashing. The proposed scheme strikes the balance between performance and the privacy/security protection. Unlike fuzzy vault and fuzzy commitment, which primarily devised for unordered and binary biometrics, respectively, our scheme is tailored for feature vector-based biometrics (vectorial biometrics). Comprehensive experiments on fingerprint vectors that derived from several FVC fingerprint benchmarks and rigorous analysis demonstrate decent secret retrieval performance yet offer strong resilience against six major security and privacy attacks.
