Abstract

The invention discloses a secret key generation method based on multi-modal biological characteristics, comprising (1) collecting characteristic images of N species of biology, extracting and quantifying the biological characteristic data as characteristic vector, (2) processing the characteristic vector and extracting the binary string to present the characteristic of the creature, (3) generating a random secret key, binding and outputting a public template P by utilizing a Shamir secret sharing method with the binary string collection, (4) sampling M creature characteristics and obtaining a binary string collection, wherein n>-M>=t>=2, and the t is a threshold value of the Shamir method, 5) inputting the binary string collection and the template P into the Shamir secret sharing method to recovery a secret key K', (6)and comparing the K and K'. The invention can improve the recognition rate and reduce the false rejection rate, can produce secret key with higher entropy, and can finish the user authentification while recovering the secret key by binding the user identity and the secret key.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the fields of information security and biometric identification, and in particular relates to a method for generating a key based on multimodal biometric features. Background technique

[0002] With the widespread use of cloud computing and smart terminals, mobile cloud is deeply affecting all aspects of people's lives. Nowadays, users are accustomed to storing a large amount of personal data in the cloud and obtaining the data through various devices when needed. However, due to the security and privacy protection issues in the cloud, users usually choose to encrypt personal privacy data before uploading to the cloud, and decrypt the data at the terminal before reading the data. This process requires a proper key management method. However, traditional key management methods have certain limitations, such as easy to forget passwords and insufficient security strength, easy to lose tokens and inconvenient to carry, etc. The ...

Examples

Embodiment Construction

[0035] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation, but the scope of the present invention will not be limited in any way.

[0036] This implementation example uses figure 1 The overall framework diagram of the multimodal biometric key generation shown. It mainly includes three modules: biometric vector extraction, codeword extraction, and key binding / unbinding.

[0037] figure 2 Shown is the codeword extraction module. When registering or verifying, each biometric feature will generate or restore the corresponding codeword.

[0038] image 3 Shown is the key binding or unbinding module. When registering or verifying, you can bind or unbind a pre-generated random key.

[0039] In this implementation example, it is assumed that there are four types of biological data during registration, that is, N=4. The preset threshold value t=3, that is, only three kinds of biometric data can...
