A New Bio-Cryptosystem-Oriented Security Analysis Framework And Implementation Of Multibiometric Cryptosystems Based On Decision Level Fusion, Cai Li, Jiankun Hu, Josef Pieprzyk, Willy Susilo

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

Biometric cryptosystems provide an innovative solution for cryptographic key generation, encryption as well as biometric template protection. Besides high authentication accuracy, a good biometric cryptosystem is expected to protect biometric templates effectively, which requires that helper data does not reveal significant information about the templates. Previous works predominantly follow an appropriate entropy definition to measure the security of biometric cryptosystems. In this paper, we point out limitations of entropy-based security analysis and propose a new security analysis framework that combines information-theoretic approach with computational security. In addition, we construct a fingerprint-based multibiometric cryptosystem using decision level fusion. Hash functions are …

Recent Advances In Security And Privacy In Big Data, Yong Yu, Yi Mu, Giuseppe Ateniese

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

Big data has become an important topic in science, engineering, medicine, healthcare, finance, business and ultimately society itself. Big data refers to the massive amount of digital information stored or transmitted in computer systems. Approximately, 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created every day. Almost 90% of data in the world today are created in the last two years alone. Security and privacy issues becomes more critical due to large volumes and variety, due to data hosted in large-scale cloud infrastructures, diversity of data sources and formats, streaming nature of data acquisition and high volume inter-cloud migration. In large-scale cloud …
