To ensure the secure transmission of data, cryptography is treated as the most effective solution. Cryptographic key is an important entity in this procedure. In general, randomly generated cryptographic key (of 256 bits) is difficult to remember. However, such a key needs to be stored in a protected place or transported through a shared communication line which, in fact, poses another threat to security. As an alternative, researchers advocate the generation of cryptographic key using the biometric traits of both sender and receiver during the sessions of communication, thus avoiding key storing and at the same time without compromising the strength in security. Nevertheless, the biometric-based cryptographic key generation possesses few concerns such as privacy of biometrics, sharing of biometric data between both communicating users (i.e., sender and receiver), and generating revocable key from irrevocable biometric. This work addresses the above-mentioned concerns. In this work, a framework for secure communication between two users using fingerprint based crypto-biometric system has been proposed. For this, Diffie-Hellman (DH) algorithm is used to generate public keys from private keys of both sender and receiver which are shared and further used to produce a symmetric cryptographic key at both ends. In this approach, revocable key for symmetric cryptography is generated from irrevocable fingerprint. The biometric data is neither stored nor shared which ensures the security of biometric data, and perfect forward secrecy is achieved using session keys. This work also ensures the long-term security of messages communicated between two users. Based on the experimental evaluation over four datasets of FVC2002 and NIST special database, the proposed framework is privacy-preserving and could be utilized onto real access control systems.
