Abstract:
A mobile App using biometric encryption and decryption for privacy and security having both authentication and recognition functions. It utilizes the built-in camera of the mobile device to provide facial images for authentication purposes. It further includes a secured data communication system for conveniently sending and receiving data on the mobile devices. The secured data communication system also utilizes biometric encryption and decryption technology for granting permissions to access the data communication system. The biometric encryption is implemented by using a selective biometric feature and optimized biometric feature detection and tracking methods. Different biometric feature authentication methods are optimized for use on various mobile platforms, such as, Android, iOS, Windows and others. Data encryption and decryption are achieved by using selected biometric feature vectors as cryptographic keys. The biometric data encryption system further includes liveness detection module with anti-spoofing features to ensure the encryption and decryption processes only accept biometric features from a live person conveniently without the user's intervention. Alternative authentication method is provided if the biometric feature authentication module fails to recognize the valid user, or fails in the liveness detection module in order to maintain privacy and security of the data in the mobile device.
