Design and implementation of secure biometric based authentication system using RFID and secret sharing

Biometric data refers to metrics related to unique human characteristics like fingerprint, iris, face recognition, voice, palm print, etc. Various security threats are raised while handling esoteric data. The current authentication system uses manual methods like PIN and passwords which may be forgotten or be stolen and hence does not ensure that only the actual owner has access to it. This paper introduces a method of secure authentication where secret sharing is applied on biometric template. Created shares of biometric template are stored in the database and RFID tag, which will make dabtabse secure. No attacker can get the whole biometric data of the user even if he/she attacks on the database server. The proposed scheme is robust and secure for authentication purpose.
