By inspiration from cryptography and considering the immensity of the set of all possible wavelets, it is presented that in wavelet domain watermarking, the associated wavelet can be considered as the private key for encrypting the watermark so as to enhance the security of the embedded mark. This idea is partly supported by the fact that from computational complexity viewpoint, it is very time-consuming to search over the immense set of all candidate wavelets for the right one if no a priori knowledge is known about it. To verify our proposal, the standard image 'Lena' is first watermarked in a specific wavelet domain, the watermark recovery experiments are then conducted in the wavelet domain for a set of wavelets with the one used for mark embedded in it,separately. It follows from the experimental results that the mark can be recovered only in the right wavelet domain, which justifies the suggestion.展开更多

In one signature system, the cryptographic key is stored in the smart card and is only accessible when the signer＇s extracted fingerprint features match his stored template. To resist being tampered on public channel, the user＇s message and the signed message are encrypted by the signer＇s public key and the user＇s public key, respectively. In the other signature system, the keys are generated by combining the signer＇s fingerprint features, check bits, and a rememberable key, and there are no matching process and keys stored on the smart card. Additionally, there is generally more than one public key in this system, that is, there exist some pseudo public keys except a real one.展开更多

However, it may cause the security in danger as the userchanges his secret key; besides, some secret keys may be disclosed due to the unsuitable selectionof the security classes' identities. Through setting up a one-way hash function onto Lin's scheme,the proposed modification can greatly improve the security of Lin's scheme.展开更多
