A New Algorithm for Creating Digital Certificate's Private Key from Iris

Enterprises are now global, virtual and dependent on dynamic information access. Naturally, digital information is constant throughout its lifecycle. In this shifting landscape, the battlefront in security is rapidly changing from securing the perimeter to protecting the information itself. The primary advantage of public-key cryptography is increased security and convenience: private keys never need to be transmitted or revealed to anyone, but loss of a private key may cause the loss of valuable data. In this paper, we proposed a new method of using iris biometric instead of private keys, so that the iris cannot be lost, stolen or even misused. The two first stages of iris recognition are implemented as the preliminary result. Our approach is feasible to produce an iris template for using as a private key in identity identification and biometric watermarking applications.
