On the Issues of Fuzzy Vault and Private Set Intersection Based Biometric Protocol

Abstract: Biometric protocols are increasingly used for their practicality. However, biometric data are highly sensitive personal data since they are identifying data that cannot be easily revoked. Moreover, their changing nature makes them hardly usable in password-based authentication protocols. One solution proposed in the literature is the Fuzzy Vault based on Shamir’s secret sharing. In this poster, we present this scheme, highlight its theoretical shortcomings, and propose ways to improve it.
