“…Biometric authentication compared to regular passwords is more secure as biometrics is part of a legitimate user's own data, hence users do not need to remember any form of passwords. In a typical biometric cryptography system, the key being generated originates from the initial biometric data (Kanade et al, 2012). In cryptography, the strength of a cryptographic key is measured by its entropy (Ballard et al, 2008).…”

“…Research in this domain started in 1998 and there is not yet a uniform nomenclature/classification capable of categorizing the various techniques and approaches present in the literature. Two nomenclatures/classifications are highlighted: the one used by Jain et al in [8] and the one used by Kanade et al [7]. In [8] as well as in [14], the crypto-biometric techniques were named template protection schemes and classified in two categories: (a) Feature transformation schemes and (b) Biometric cryptosystem (also referred to as helper data-based schemes).…”

“…The implementation of biometric techniques in access control systems usually increases total security as it adds the biometry as one extra security factor: the identity-based factor. Cryptographic techniques combined with biometrics allowed the emergence of a new research field referenced to as cryptobiometric systems [7]). …”

Cryptographic keys based on biometrics, besides offering information security and privacy, have the advantage of being strongly linked to the user. Three main techniques use biometric data to obtain cryptographic keys: cryptographic key release, cryptographic key generation and cryptographic key regeneration. The main objectives of these schemes are to ensure revocability and produce keys with high entropy. In this work, we propose a new technique for secret key agreement based on biometrics. Three security factors are used, represented by an iris code, an RFID tag and a password. The use of the protocol for reconciliation between the RFID reader and tag enables the agreement of a symmetric key with high entropy by discarding all the mismatching bits present in genuine samples, while it fails to do so for impostors that are therefore rejected. A new secret key is agreed after every positive authentication, increasing the security of the system. The system was evaluated on the public database ICE2005 and obtained a 270 binary digit cryptographic key with estimated entropy of about 156 bits at 0% False Acceptance Rate (FAR) and 3.68% False Rejection Rate (FRR).
