Abstract

In order to solve the prealignment problem, this paper constructs new fingerprint features which will not change along with the rotation of fingerprint image. And then the SHA1 algorithm is improved in four aspects: the modification of original register values, the modification of additive constants, the modification of logic functions, the modification of compression functions, then this paper improves the SHA2 algorithm in two aspects: the modification of compression functions and the modification of message word. Based on that, two cancelable and irreversible fingerprint encryption schemes are proposed in this paper. The efficiency analysis and security authentication show that these schemes have enhanced the security without increasing the complexity.
