To address the privacy and security related challenges in Internet of Things (IoT) environment, we proposed a biometric method called BioSec to provide authentication in IoT integrated with edge consumer electronics with fingerprint authentication. Further, we ensured the security of biometric data both in the transmission channel and database with the standard encryption method. In this way, BioSec ensures secure and private communication among edge devices in IoT and Industry 4.0. Finally, we have compared three encryption methods used to protect biometric templates in terms of processing times and identified that AES-128-bit key encryption method outperforms others.
