Abstract

A new biometric identity authentication scheme is proposed based on fuzzy extractor and the advantages of blockchain with decentralization and anonymity. First of all, the fuzzy extractor for biometric information is used to participate in the authentication process, which solves the problem of permanent unavailability caused by the leakage of biometric template. Then, the Fabric architecture is used to build a blockchain to store the hash value of the random key obtained through fuzzy extractor, and it can solve the problem of the centralized storage existed in the traditional identity authentication mechanism. Based on blockchain and fuzzy extractor, a two-factor identity authentication scheme is realized. We performed experimental simulations on our proposed algorithm and the security of our scheme has been shown by analyzing the simulated enemy attack and resistance under some extreme circumstances. Meanwhile, our efficiency analysis also shows the availability of our scheme.
