Abstract: Remote authentication has much application in today’s world. Such authentication usually involves transfer of sensitive information via insecure channels. There is a need for a simple, reliable and moreover secure mechanism for authentication. This paper proposes a webcam based authentication scheme using fingerprint biometrics and steganography. A reasonable quality fingerprint image of the user to be authenticated is used for this purpose. This image is enhanced using HDR local adaptation mechanism. The enhanced biometric signal is then embedded with metadata containing the information of the image source and then encrypted using an encryption scheme based on Rubik’s cube principle. Initially the video object of the user to be authenticated is segmented from the video feed. The encrypted biometric signal is then hid inside this image using a steganographic method utilizing side match. Minutiae points are extracted from the recovered, decrypted fingerprint..image..on..the..authenticating..side..for..fingerprint..matching.
