MULTIMODAL BIOMETRIC TO GENERATE THE KEY FOR DATA SECURITY USING RETINA AND FINGERPRINT FEATURES

Abstract

Single biometric systemsare prone to have problems such as noisy data, non-universality and unacceptable error rate. Hence, multimodal biometrics systems are widely used to consolidate the result which isobtained from two or more biometrics.Thisenables one to avoid the unacceptable error rate and reduces the failure rate. Thus, multimodal biometric systems have emerged as an innovative alternative approach to develop a more reliable and efficient security system. The aim of this paper is to put forth application of key generation for data security over the internet. This is achieved using cryptographic key which is not easy tobe guessed or to crack by intruders during the transmission over the internet
