Privacy-Aware Database System for Retrieving Facial Images

Abstract

To achieve privacy protection on facial image retrieval systems, we propose a method of encrypting facial images with a key produced from facial features. Because facial features vary even for the same person, it is not recommended to use facial features as the cryptographic key. Therefore, we propose a method for generating a key by quantizing the facial features based on entropy. In our experiment, we applied the proposed method to a public facial image database, and evaluated the system performance and integrity by calculating the false acceptance rate and the false rejection rate.
