LNCS 2828 Computation of Cryptographic Keys from Face Biometrics 1st edition by Alwyn Goh, David Ngo ISBN 3540201858 978-3540201854

LNCS 2828 – Computation of Cryptographic Keys from Face Biometrics is a research-focused book authored by Alwyn Goh and David Ngo, published as part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. The book explores the novel concept of using biometric data, specifically face biometrics, to compute cryptographic keys for secure systems. This approach combines biometrics with cryptography to provide a more user-friendly and secure means of authentication and key distribution.

The book introduces the idea of generating cryptographic keys from face images using biometric recognition techniques. Traditional cryptographic systems rely on passwords or hardware tokens for authentication, but these methods have various vulnerabilities, including susceptibility to theft, forgetfulness, and social engineering. The authors propose a system that leverages facial features to create cryptographic keys, potentially offering an enhanced, more secure, and convenient approach for key management in authentication systems.
