Abstract

Biometric verification systems have security issues regarding the storage of biometric data in that a user's biometric features cannot be changed into other ones even when a system is compromised. To address this issue, it may be safe to store the biometrics data on a reliable remote server instead of storing them in a local device. However, this approach may raise a privacy issue. In this paper, we propose a biometric verification system where the biometric data are stored in a remote server in an encrypted form and the similarity of the user input to the registered biometric data is computed in an encrypted domain using a homomorphic encryption. We evaluated the performance of the proposed system through an implementation on an Android-based smartphone and an i7-based server.
