A secure fingerprint identification system and method, includes storing n shares of transformed gallery pair tables for each person into n cloud computer systems, each of the transformed gallery pair tables is generated by transforming first biometric input into first transformed data, determining an integer part and a fraction part using the first transformed data, splitting the integer part into the n shares and determining a threshold number. Data for a probe pair table is used to obtain a second biometric input, which is transformed into second transformed data. A probe integer part and a probe fraction part are determined using the second transformed data. The threshold number of the gallery pair tables is downloaded from the clouds. The integer part is reconstructed from the threshold shares. Matching is performed including exactly matching the probe integer part and the reconstructed integer part and matching the fraction parts within a threshold.

Bioshares: apply shamir secret sharing to secure fingerprint in the cloud

A fingerprint characterizing system and method include receiving a fingerprint image at a fingerprint module; extracting a plurality of minutiae points from the fingerprint image, via a fingerprint image sensor; generating a minutiae file of biometric data according to a corresponding location of the plurality of minutiae points on the fingerprint image; generating a pair table from the minutiae file; dividing the pair table into a plurality of subsets; encrypting, via processing circuitry each of the plurality of subsets; comparing, via the processing circuitry each of the encrypted plurality of subsets against one or more existing encrypted subsets stored across a plurality of data clouds; and generating, via the processing circuitry a match table for each of the encrypted plurality of subsets and a corresponding compatible existing encrypted subset stored in the plurality of data clouds.
