Generation of Biometric key for use in DES
This work addresses the need for secure and personalized key generation in cryptography, but it appears incremental as it applies an existing method (fingerprint-based key generation) to a specific algorithm (DES).
The paper tackled the problem of generating cryptographic keys for the Data Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm by proposing a unique approach that uses fingerprints to create biometric keys.
Cryptography is an important field in the area of data encryption. There are different cryptographic techniques available varying from the simplest to complex. One of the complex symmetric key cryptography techniques is using Data Encryption Standard Algorithm. This paper explores a unique approach to generation of key using fingerprint. The generated key is used as an input key to the DES Algorithm
