Abstract

Most of the cryptographic protocols nowadays, mainly asymmetrical, have a generated user personal key as their basis, known only to them but still vulnerable to theft. There can be proposed an innovative solution, which hashes the cipher with chosen key and uses some personal characteristics of the person generating it (e.g., by voice sampling or biometrics, encoded as a bit vector). Such a private key would be usable only by its creator, making the design much safer and authenticating him personally, making the non-repudiation of encoded material possible. Also, with the proposed solution, another avenue of research has been opened by using such a technique in steganography - encoding information in the user-provided picture, secured by his biometric sequences (quality vectors). In both cases, the cryptographic protocols take on truly unique sequences, used instead of traditional salt values, also providing a layer of truly personal touch to an otherwise purely theoretical construct. It may find many applications in the growing world of IoT where people and their unique needs have to be incorporated into the growing web of security protocols.
