“…The concept of using the "side chain" of processing data is discussed in [13], which combines the users' fingerprint template and other user data and saves it on the side chain, which is then Where S[0] is the state at the end of the previous block, and T X is the transactions list with n transactions of the block in Figure 3.…”

“…That is why our proposed system encrypts the fingerprint template and using IPFS stores the hash on the Ethereum network. The proposed system performs similarly to the traditional fingerprint authentication system proposed by Dipti et al [13]. This system authenticates users by matching their "Aadhar card" number against fingerprint features stored on the blockchain.…”

“…When considering the security vulnerabilities that are associated with centralized data storage, the use of distributed and decentralized technology to eliminate central authority is essential and risk-free [13]. Using the Ethereum network in our proposed system, data are stored on nodes that keep a copy of all transactions dating back to the first one in a chain of blocks.…”

Biometrics, with its uniqueness to every individual, has been adapted as a security authentication feature by many institutions. These biometric data are processed into templates that are saved on databases, and a central authority centralizes and controls these databases. This form of storing biometric data, or in our case fingerprint template, is asymmetric and prone to three main security attacks, such as fake template input, template modification or deletion, and channel interception by a malicious attacker. In this paper, we secure an encrypted fingerprint template by a symmetric peer-to-peer network and symmetric encryption. The fingerprint is encrypted by the symmetric key algorithm: Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm and then is uploaded to a symmetrically distributed storage system, the InterPlanetary File system (IPFS). The hash of the templated is stored in a decentralized blockchain. The slow transaction speed of the blockchain has limited its use in real-life applications, such as large file storage, hence, the merge with IPFS to store just the hashes of large files. The encrypted template is uploaded to the IPFS, and its returned digest is stored on the Ethereum network. The implementation of IPFS prevents storing the raw state of the fingerprint template on the Ethereum network in order to reduce cost and also prevent identity theft. This procedure is an improvement of previous systems. By adopting the method of template hashing, the proposed system is cost-effective and efficient. The experimental results depict that the proposed system secures the fingerprint template by encryption, hashing, and decentralization.

“…The blockchain is a distributed, decentralised system that is shared, replicated and consistent among the members of its network [14][15]. This helps to keep the data unaltered and can be managed securely [16]. Here since we were intended to develop Ethereum Application such that Ethereum transactions work could be monitored devoid of running a full Ethereum node and thus Metamask is used.…”
