Abstract

In this paper, we propose a fuzzy vault system using iris data. The fuzzy vault, proposed by Juels and Sudan, has been used to protect cryptographic key with biometric information. In order to combine the fuzzy vault scheme with iris data, we used iris features extracted by ICA method and clustering technique. From our experimental results, we proved that the propose fuzzy vault system is robust to sensed environmental change.
