Abstract

We present a random bit generator that uses fingerprint image for the source of random, and random bit generator using fingerprint image for the randomness has not been presented as yet. Fingerprint image is affected by the operational environments including sensing act, nonuniform contact and inconsistent contact, and these operational environments make FPI to be used for the source of random possible. Our generator produces, on the average, 9,334 bits a fingerprint image in 0.03 second. We have used the NIST SDB14 test suite consisting of sixteen statistical tests for testing the randomness of the bit sequence generated by our generator, and as the result, the bit sequence passes all sixteen statistical tests.
