Abstract:
Digital signature method is inspired from the handwriting signature, which must be unique and representative of an individual. The digital signature is a technique that allows identification of a user by relating one entity to one identity. Digital signature has many other applications in security field; including authentication, data integrity, and non-repudiation. The digital signature can be performed using asymmetric algorithm RSA, which is time-consuming. Hence, instead of ciphering all data, a representative data of the initial one is used. The minutiae point is an important feature of a fingerprint image due to the uniqueness characteristic of this descriptive set. The intent of this paper is to present an enhanced method for digital signature identification based one RSA and using minutiae point features of fingerprint image.
