The bilinear pairing, also known as Weil pairing or Tate pairing, is widely used in cryptography and its properties help to construct cryptographic schemes for different applications in which the security of the transmitted data is a major concern. In remote login authentication schemes, there are two major requirements: i) proving the identity of a user and the server for legitimacy without exposing their private keys and ii) freedom for a user to choose and change his password (private key) efficiently. Most of the existing methods based on the bilinear property have some security breaches due to the lack of features and the design issues. In this paper, we develop a new scheme using the bilinear property of an elliptic point and the biometric characteristics. Our method provides many features along with three major goals. a) Checking the correctness of the password before sending the authentication message, which prevents the wastage of communication cost; b) Efficient password change phase in which the user is asked to give a new password after checking the correctness of the current password without involving the server; c) User anonymity - enforcing the suitability of our scheme for applications in which a user does not want to disclose his identity. We use BAN logic to ensure the mutual authentication and session key agreement properties. The paper provides informal security analysis to illustrate that our scheme resists all the security attacks. Furthermore, we use the AVISPA tool for formal security verification of our scheme.

Fingerprinting scheme is a technique which supports the copyright protection to track redistributors of digital content using cryptographic techniques. These schemes enable the original merchant to identify the original buyer of the digital data by embedding fingerprints into digital contents. Asymmetric property of fingerprinting schemes is important to keep the buyer's privacy. In this paper, we propose a symmetric encryption based fingerprinting protocol without trusted third party. Our scheme enables the reduction of computational costs for the encryption using symmetric key encryption scheme. Since a trusted third party doesn't take part in making the fingerprint of each buyer, the protocol doesn't need to control the trusted third party and it is more secure against collusion attack.

Point pattern matching schemes for finger print recognition do not guarantee robust matching performance for finger print images of poor quality. We present a finger print recognition scheme, where transformation parameter of matched ridge pairs are estimated by Hough transform and the matching hypothesis is verified by a new measure of the matching degree using selective directional information. Proposed method may exhibit extremely low FAR(False Accept Ratio) while maintaining low reject ratio even for the images of poor quality because of the robustness to the variation of minutia points.

This paper addresses an image fingerprinting scheme for the print-to-capture model performed by a photo printer and digital camera. When capturing an image by a digital camera, various kinds of distortions such as noise, geometrical distortions, and lens distortions are applied slightly and simultaneously. In this paper, we consider several steps to extract fingerprints from the distorted image in print-and capture scenario. To embed ID into an image as a fingerprint, multi-bits embedding is applied. We embed 64 bits ID information as a fingerprint into spatial domain of color images. In order to restore a captured image from distortions a noise reduction filter is performed and a rectilinear tiling pattern is used as a template. To make the template a multi-bits fingerprint is embedded repeatedly like a tiling pattern into the spatial domain of the image. We show that the extracting is successful from the image captured by a digital camera through the experiment.

In this paper, we proposed a new audio fingerprint extraction method, based on Philips' music retrieval algorithm, which uses the energy difference of neighboring filter-bank and probabilistic characteristics of music. Since Philips method uses too many filter-banks in limited frequency band, it may cause audio fingerprints to be highly sensitive to additive noises and to have too high correlation between neighboring bands. The proposed method improves robustness to noises by reducing the number of filter-banks while it maintains the discriminative power by representing the energy difference of bands with 2 bits where the quantization levels are determined by probabilistic characteristics. The correlation which exists among 4 different levels in 2 bits is not only utilized in similarity measurement. but also in efficient reduction of searching area. Experiments show that the proposed method is not only more robust to various environmental noises (street, department, car, office, and restaurant), but also takes less time for database search than Philips in the case where music is highly degraded.

With the continuous development of cloud storage, plenty of redundant data exists in cloud storage, especially multimedia data such as images and videos. Data deduplication is a data reduction technology that significantly reduces storage requirements and increases bandwidth efficiency. To ensure data security, users typically encrypt data before uploading it. However, there is a contradiction between data encryption and deduplication. Existing deduplication methods for regular files cannot be applied to image deduplication because images need to be detected based on visual content. In this paper, we propose a secure image deduplication scheme based on hashing and clustering, which combines a novel perceptual hash algorithm based on Local Binary Pattern. In this scheme, the hash value of the image is used as the fingerprint to perform deduplication, and the image is transmitted in an encrypted form. Images are clustered to reduce the time complexity of deduplication. The proposed scheme can ensure the security of images and improve deduplication accuracy. The comparison with other image deduplication schemes demonstrates that our scheme has somewhat better performance.

A modified capacitive detection circuit of charge sharing scheme is proposed, which reduces the static power dissipation and increases the voltage difference between a ridge and valley more than a conventional circuit. The detection circuit is designed and simulated in 3.3V, $0.35{\mu}m$ standard CMOS process, 40MHz condition. The result shows about 47% power dissipation reduction and 90% improvement of difference between a ridge and valley sensing voltage. The proposed circuit is layout without area increasing of a one pixel.

As for the application system or the user authentication scheme that is used in the system, various technologies including simple ID/PW, certificate, fingerprint/iris, phone, security card, and OTP are being used. But simple ID/PW and phone certification lack security features. As for the certificate, fingerprint/iris, and security card/OTP, the weakness in security has been quite strengthened, but there are costs and complexity involved to use these. This paper proposes a new measure of much safer and low-cost user authentication that improves the security level and uses mobile external storage media such as USB that people commonly have.

최근 바이오메트릭 센서를 내장한 스마트폰 및 모바일 기기의 보급으로 바이오메트릭 인증에 대한 사람들의 관심이 증대되고 있다. 지문 인식은 사람마다 고유한 지문 정보를 이용하여 사용자를 인증하는 것으로 다른 바이오메트릭 인증 방법에 비하여 상대적으로 비용이 저렴하고 인식률이 높아 많은 응용에 적용된다. 하지만 사람의 지문은 실리콘 또는 젤라틴과 같은 물질을 이용해 쉽게 위조가 가능한 단점이 있다. 따라서, 지문인식용 센서는 온도, 빛 등의 2차적인 인증 수단을 함께 측정할 수 있어야 하는데, 이 경우 비용이 많이 들게 된다. 본 연구에서는 인증길이(지문인식을 위해서 스캔한 시간)와 지문인식에 사용된 손가락을 2차적인 인증 수단으로 사용하여 위조 지문 공격에 대응할 수 있는 지문 인증 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 기법은 2차 인증을 위한 키패드 기반의 패스워드 입력 부담을 줄일 수 있고 경제적이다.

This paper proposes an effective hardware scheme for thinning stage processing of a fingerprint identification algorithm based on minutiae with 40% cycle occupation of 32-bit RISC microprocessor. The thinning step is needed to be processed by hardware block, because it is performed repeatedly by processing the same operation using an image window masking method. It can reduce the burden of the system and improve speed. The hardware is implemented by HDL and simulated. The result is compared with a conventional one.
