In traditional cryptosystems, user authentication is based on possession of secret keys; the
method falls apart if the keys are not kept secret (ie, shared with non-legitimate users) …

An essential part of cloud computing, IoT, and in general the broad field of digital systems, is
constituted by the mechanisms which provide access to a number of services or …

Form a privacy perspective most concerns against the common use of biometrics arise from
the storage and misuse of biometric data. Biometric cryptosystems and cancelable …

We introduce a new type of Identity-Based Encryption (IBE) scheme that we call Fuzzy
Identity-Based Encryption. In Fuzzy IBE we view an identity as set of descriptive attributes. A …

Biometric recognition, or simply biometrics, refers to the use of distinctive anatomical and/or
behavioral characteristics or identifiers (eg, fingerprints, face, iris, voice, and hand geometry) …

We provide formal definitions and efficient secure techniques for turning biometric
information into keys usable for any cryptographic application, and reliably and securely …

We provide formal definitions and efficient secure techniques for turning noisy information
into keys usable for any cryptographic application, and, in particular, reliably and securely …

A biometric system is vulnerable to a variety of attacks aimed at undermining the integrity of
the authentication process. These attacks are intended to either circumvent the security …

Pattern recognition, image processing and computer vision are closely linked areas which
have seen enormous progress in the last fifty years. Their applications in our daily life …

Biometrics-based authentication systems offer obvious usability advantages over traditional
password and token-based authentication schemes. However, biometrics raises several …
