The invention discloses a biometric
fingerprint authentication method based on a
quantum fuzzy commitment, which comprises a registration phase and an
authentication phase. The registration phase comprises the following steps of: firstly, constructing a fuzzy commitment set to produce code words required for the commitment phase by using a
quantum error correcting code space without self-dual constraint, and applying a
noise addition transformation used for fuzzy proving to the
code word; and then, constructing a
quantum hash
algorithm, and mixing, diffusing and encrypting a random quantum sequence so as to realize the security of using one key at one time in the sense of information theory. The
authentication phase comprises the following step of opening the fuzzy commitment set by using a quantum fuzzy commitment to obtain random information for decrypting keys Messa. A new quantum fuzzy commitment
system is constructed by
combing the quantum hash
algorithm on the basis of entangling assistant quantum
error correcting codes. Compared with other similar
fingerprint authentication methods, the biometric
fingerprint authentication method based on a quantum fuzzy commitment has prominent advantages in the aspects of
storage security and authentication security of
biometric data, and the quantum biometric performance and the security of biological template
information storage and transmission can be increased.
