Secret Sharing Scheme with Fingerprint Authentication

Abstract

Medical imaging is very important in medical diagnosis. X-rays, ultrasound images, CT scans, brain pictures, and patient mri images are examples of images that contain sensitive information. However, poor communication channels and loopholes in hospital and medical centre storage systems risk accessing these images by unauthorised individuals who utilise them for nefarious purposes other than diagnostics. Image encryption is a common strategy for enhancing the integrity of communication and storage channels for protecting medical images from unauthorized access. This task proposes a biometrics-based method of secret sharing. Instead of sharing secrets between participants as in encryption, the biometric properties of participants create a single biometric configuration. If the biometric vaults are verified for the required number of actual during the authentication process, participants must provide a valid encryption key from the configuration is disclosed.
