Abstract

Data has been touted as the new oil. This attests to the level of importance it has garnered over the years. With increased proliferation of and advancements in technology, data is bound to play more prominent role. The need for data security, therefore, cannot be overstated. Existing systems for securing data often rely on one or combination of biometric, cryptography, and steganography. In this paper, we propose AbsoluteSecure, a data security system that combines the three techniques to enhance the security of data. The system is implemented using C#. To evaluate its performance, experiments are performed to assess its usability and security. Specifically, on usability, its capacity to successfully enroll a new user’s fingerprint and authenticate an enrolled user are evaluated. On the other hand, to ascertain its security, we measure how much it can detect and deny access to unauthorized users, both at the authentication and usage levels. The results of the experiments show that AbsoluteSecure can ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data.
