EEG authentication system using fuzzy vault scheme

Abstract

Authentication has become a necessity these days because the use in most of the life applications from accounts to devices, especially with the rapid development of technology versus traditional methods such as password and PIN, that is, become infeasible for such methods. New methods have emerged, including biometric systems. In this paper we will explore the possibility of combining cryptography with biometrics in order to achieve authentication. EEG will be used as they are unique and also difficult to expose and copy of 9 healthy persons, extracting features from them and use that features with fuzzy vault scheme to provide high security to encrypt Biometric systems. the calsssification gives good accuracy 96% , and using the tent chaff points give the system an advantage because it reduces the error occurs when separates chaff points from the genuine point which are the EEG signal features because the initial seeds are known by both sender and receiver.
