Abstract

First biometric parameters are acquired from a user. Input data are encrypted according to the biometric parameters to produce ciphertext. The biometric parameters are encoded using a syndrome encoder to produce a syndrome code. The ciphertext and the syndrome code are associated with each other and stored in a computer readable media so that only the same user can subsequently decrypt the cipher text.
