Ntshangase, C. S., Shabalala, M. B..  2018.  Encryption Using Finger-Code Generated from Fingerprints. 2018 Conference on Information Communications Technology and Society (ICTAS). :1-5.

In this paper, the literature survey of different algorithms for generating encryption keys using fingerprints is presented. The focus is on fingerprint features called minutiae points where fingerprint ridges end or bifurcate. Minutiae points require less memory and are processed faster than other fingerprint features. In addition, presented is the proposed efficient method for cryptographic key generation using finger-codes. The results show that the length of the key, computing time and the memory it requires is efficient for use as a biometric key or even as a password during verification and authentication.
