ABSTRACT

The applications of wireless networks is steadily increasing through out the world. Wireless transactions are now happening in highly secure banking networks. To have more reliable networks, security of wireless networks is to be strengthened. Various Encryption algorithms are employed for this purpose. With standard key size and format, they are vulnerable to attacks. A key generated from biometric feature is unique and it is hard to break it. If the biometric key is based on key generated from two biometric features, it is highly reliable. In this paper, one such attempt is made to generate key for standard encryption algorithm from keys generated from face and fingerprint with the application of a unique algorithm.
