Secure cancelable fingerprint key generation

The strength of present day cryptosystem lies mainly in the key used for encryption. The problem to remember, protect and manage private key is a major issue in case of asymmetric ciphers. By using proven one way mathematical functions, multiplication of two large primes and secure hash function, we propose a robust and stable fingerprint key generation scheme. This scheme enables the generation of secure and cancelable cryptographic key with a very small FAR. The key can be used as private key for elliptic curve or NTRU based cryptosystems.
