Abstract
The popular asymmetric cryptography is RSA but most of the RSA–based hardware and software products and standards require big cryptographic keys length for higher security level. The existing asymmetric cryptography algorithms need the storage of the secret keys. Stored keys are often protected by poorly selected user passwords that can either be guessed or obtained through brute force attacks. This is a major weakness of the crypto-system. Combining biometrics with cryptography is seen as a possible solution. This paper discusses the network security using Elliptic Curve Cryptography with contactless palm vein biometric system. It provides more security with less key length and also there is no need to store any private key anywhere. It focuses to create and share secret key without transmitting any private key so that no one could access the secret key except themselves.
