SECURE CRYPTO BIOMETRIC SYSTEM FOR CLOUD COMPUTING

Abstract

Cloud computing has achieved maturity, and there is a heterogeneous group of providers and cloud-based
services. However, significant attention remains focused on security concerns. In many cases, security and
privacy issues are a significant barrier to user acceptance of cloud computing systems and the advantages
these offer with respect to previous systems. Biometric technologies are becoming the key aspect of a wide
range of secure identification and personal verification solutions, but in a cloud computing environment they
present some problems related to the management of biometric data, due to privacy regulations and the need
to trust cloud providers. To overcome those problems in this paper, we propose a crypto biometric system
applied to cloud computing in which no private biometric data are exposed.
