A Secure Rfid Id-Card System Via Robust Image Hashing

A cryptographically secure, inexpensive and contactless biometric identity verification system is presented. The system proposed is a printout of individual's biometric feature (pictorial data) such as face, hand, iris and a textual message. Furthermore, an HF RFID tag that involves RSA signature, compressed representations of the textual and pictorial data printed on a PVC card provides contactless communication. Digital signature is created using the private key of the signer. Verification is performed by an intelligent device involving a USB Camera and a RFID Reader. The work is completed under the supervision of Kivanc Mihcak.
