ABSTRACT: A digital certificate under Public Key
Infrastructure has a defect of Man-in-the-Middle Attack that performs hash collision
attacks. In this paper, we propose a robust biometric-PKI authentication system
against Man-in-the-Middle Attack. The biometric-PKI authentication system
consists of current PKI authentication and biometric authentication, which
employs biometric data and a public key from a digital certificate. In the
proposed biometric-PKI authentication system, an au- thentication process
performs that it extracts consistent features of fingerprint images, encrypts
consistent features, and matches features with prepared templates. The
simulation results of the proposed authentication system prove that our system
achieves low false acceptance rate and high accuracy rate.
