MOBILE DATA COMMUNICATION USING BIOMETRIC ENCRYPTION

摘要

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.

主权项

1. A method for accessing encrypted and decrypted data sent between a sender mobile device with a mobile App to a user mobile device with the mobile App, wherein
the sender mobile App selecting a desired user biometric data from a storage of the sender mobile device; sending the desired user biometric data to a biometric detector for validation, and a request for a public key; creating the encrypted data in the sender mobile device with the public key received if the validation is successful; sending the encrypted data with the public key to the user mobile device; the user mobile App generating a live biometric data using a biometric sensor of the user mobile device when the encrypted data is received; sending the live biometric data to the biometric sensor for validation, and a request for a private key; denying the request for a private key by the biometric sensor if the validation of the live biometric data has failed; receiving the private key by the user mobile device if the validation is successful; and decrypting the encrypted data with the private key received, and the public key received from the sender.
