Biometric Authentication System with Encrypted Template Storage and Secure Matching

The objective of this project is to design a biometric authentication system that securely stores encrypted biometric templates and performs protected matching. The system aims to prevent biometric data leakage while ensuring secure identity verification using advanced cryptographic protection mechanisms.

Study biometric authentication techniques such as fingerprint or facial recognition.

Analyze security risks associated with biometric template storage.

Design a secure template protection framework using encryption.

Implement biometric data acquisition and feature extraction module.

Encrypt biometric templates using AES or ECC-based encryption.

Develop secure matching algorithms without exposing raw biometric data.

Integrate user authentication and access control mechanisms.

Conduct security analysis against template inversion and replay attacks.

Evaluate system accuracy using FAR (False Acceptance Rate) and FRR (False Rejection Rate).

Perform performance benchmarking for encryption overhead.

Document architecture design, cryptographic model, and experimental evaluation.
