Legal Challenges in E-passport and Solution by BIO-PUF Function

Sivasankari Narasimhan

Today many countries are utilizing electronic passports. In that authentication and confidentiality is very much essential. In the late 1990s, biometrics-based templates come as an authentication tool. Many biometric-based authentication protocols and RFID based authentication techniques have been suggested for authenticity and confidentiality. In this paper, the authentication protocol is developed with biometrics and Physical Unclonable Function (PUF). The concept of Bio-PUF is introduced, to combine the biometric concept with an unclonable response from PUF has been arrived for authentication. The protocol uses simple cryptographic operations, a strong PUF circuit, and any biometrics to create a more secure Bio-PUF based E-passport authentication protocol. This will provide more reliable security.
