Server-Side Encrypting and Digital Signature Platform with Biometric Authorization
Leszek Siwik, Lukasz Mozgowoj · International Journal of Computer Network and Information Security · 2015
The most important shortcomings of solutions based on public key infrastructure and digital signatures are: costs, ambiguous laws, and nuisance of daily use.The purpose of this article is to discuss the motivation and benefits, as well as a presentation of concepts, highlevel architecture, and demonstration of the operation of bioPKI; i.e., a server-side encryption and digital signature platform with biometric authorization.The usefulness of even the most advanced platform of any type is negligible if convenient and easy-to-implement mechanisms are not provided to integrate this solution with external systems and applications.Thus, the possibility of integrating the bioPKI platform with applications and systems supporting PKCS#11 or CryptoAPI CSP is discussed.
