BIOMETRIC AUTHENTICATION FOR IMAGE SECRECY IN CLOUD FRAMEWORK: A REVIEW PAPER

Abstract

Cloud computing is a major blooming technology that has multiple applications and is understandably so hyped in today's industry. Photos, especially due to widespread social media, are a big part of today's internet data traffic, and so their protection is crucial. The photos in the cloud are, however, a big security problem in the current scenario. Since the user who uploaded the image does not have control over image protection, the cloud provider must maintain full security in terms of authentication and attack prevention. The main aim of this paper is to provide a method to improve the protection of cloud images. This paper presents an idea of using biometric authentication to secure images on a cloud platform. Different steps are explained in biometric authentication and secure image upload and access, and all steps are finally integrated as a case study that sheds light on the entire process in which methods are best-regarding results and compatibility. In this paper, the proposed algorithm presents the concept of image authentication in two basic steps of image compression using the standard discrete wavelet transformation method, followed by image encryption using the SHA and blowfish hybrid method. This image is then stored in the cloud database and accessed any time it is requested by the user. This paper offers a formal and detailed view of encryption techniques, forms of biometrics and protected data as well as images.
