System and method for fingerprint encryption and decryption

Abstract

A system for fingerprint encryption and decryption comprises a sending terminal and a receiving terminal, wherein the sending terminal and the receiving terminal are provided with fingerprint identifying devices. The sending terminal comprises a collection module used for collecting user fingerprints and recording time when the user fingerprints are collected, the sending terminal is used for judging whether continuous time of collection of the user fingerprints exceeds a preset first time range, if yes, a first judging module of a preset encryption option, and an encryption module are called out, and the encryption module is used for encrypting information or files or folders needing to be sent to the receiving terminal by means of collected user fingerprints through the encryption option. The receiving terminal comprises a collection module, a comparing module and a decryption module, wherein the collection module is used for collecting the user fingerprints, the comparing module is used for comparing prestored user fingerprints and the user fingerprints collected by the collection module in real time, and the decryption module is used for decryption. The system effectively utilizes fingerprints to encrypt communication data, and can avoid the facts that memorization of passwords causes using inconvenience, or the passwords are stolen to cause problems of information safety and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of communication security, in particular to a fingerprint encryption and decryption system and method for ensuring communication security by using fingerprints. Background technique [0002] Communications are developing rapidly at present, but security issues related to communications have not increased enough to reassure users. Either it is too complex, difficult to operate, or requires some specific portable authentication equipment. The existing security method is to realize encryption through files such as some passwords, encryption keys, and digital certificates. This encryption method requires users to remember their own encryption passwords, and to use USB shields with them. Because many accounts currently require passwords, some accounts are not very secure, and users are often stolen. In this case, users need to change the password; in addition, different accounts have different security requirements for p...
