Biometric authentication is getting increasingly popular and demands a wide range of solutions to against increasing cybercrimes and digital identity thefts. This paper proposes a new privacypreserving cancelable biometric authentication key agreement scheme, which improves the existing authentication scheme based on ECC. We are going to integrate the fuzzy commitment and cancelable biometrics to guarantee the security for user's biometric information. The cancelable biometrics named as the random distance method (RDM) which can generate non-invertible and privacy-preserving revocable pseudo-biometric identities. The proposed scheme realizes the mutual authentication of participants, and the privacy of biometric information and also can resist the vast majority of existing attacks. We use the widely accepted BPR adversary model to formally prove the safety features of our scheme. Further, the comparison of other existing related schemes shows that the performance of this scheme has greater advantages in terms of computation cost and communication cost. The experiments demonstrate that this scheme can achieves higher accuracy, while preserving biometric information privacy.

Data privacy is a developing issue in the cyberspace. Users who send something through a public network want their data to be kept confidential. Service providers, in like manner, need to store valid data and avoid storing invalid data. Auditing protocols provide data validity and prevent the storing of invalid data. However, some problems including cooperation with a malicious auditor to register invalid data, deleting registered data, obtaining private data by service providers, and attacks to the network's point of failure still exists. This paper presents a blockchain‐based protocol to audit transactions transferred on a blockchain called the DA‐DS protocol. The blockchain is applied in the DA‐DS protocol to provide immutability for stored data and distribute the network's point of failure. A distributed signature based on the ElGamal cryptosystem is applied in this paper for auditors and the ElGamal‐based encryption algorithm to provide transaction confidentiality since the ElGamal cryptosystem does not provide key escrow. Therefore, users join the network have a security against privileged insider adversaries. In the DA‐DS protocol, each confidential transaction is audited, off‐chain, by all auditors. The audited transaction is then sent to the central authority for verification, and the central authority submits the audited transaction on the blockchain if the verification process is done successfully. Finally, in this paper, a security analysis of the DA‐DS protocol is provided in the random oracle (RO) model. Subsequently, the performance was compared with other recently proposed auditing protocols, the result of which has shown that it higher efficiency.

One Time Passwords (OTP) are being widely used for authentication of user to access a number of services offered online. The security vulnerabilities in classical execution of OTP schemes are addressed using Quantum OTP (QOTP) scheme with user biometrics. This scheme requires sharing of user biometric data with every service provider. The chances of leakage of user biometrics increase with increase in number of entities holding the data. Further, loss of data by any entity compromises user identity for all other services. The work carried out in this article addresses the above-mentioned challenges by incorporating a trusted third party which holds user biometric data and carries out authentication on its behalf. The proposed model continues leveraging upon inherent security benefits provided by Quantum Entanglement and Quantum Communication and utilizing user biometrics as authentication data. It modifies the QOTP scheme by carrying out mutual authentication for user and server against a particular transaction. The proposed model brings in the advantages of Single Sign On facility in terms of hardware to reduce infrastructure cost and No Secret Sharing of user biometric data with the servers to protect against rogue servers. The security analysis demonstrates the merit of the inherent procedures of the proposed work which leverage on the no-cloning and quantum cryptography principles.
