Two Efficient Architectures for Handling Biometric Data While Taking Care of Their Privacy

  • Chapter
Security and Privacy in Biometrics

Abstract

We present two architecture examples that illustrate what can be done today in terms of Privacy and Security in Biometrics. Our choice corresponds to the base of two demonstrators developed for the European FP7 cooperative project TURBINE. These solutions have been conceived for two distinct kinds of applications as the first one deals with private remote biometric authentication while the second one is devoted to local biometric identification which corresponds to a physical access control scenario. Moreover, the techniques on which they rely are quite different. Our scope is here mainly dedicated to describe the cryptographic protocols, their implementations and their security analysis.
