Abstract: Crypto biometric system is
widely used in many information security applications to generate cryptographic
key using the human retina characteristics.
Biometric features will improve the security of cryptographic system. In
this paper three retina biometric features are used to generate the key. They
include the end points, bifurcation points and islands. This work emphasizes
upon unification of three features which enables to generate the secured
cryptographic key. This work introduces a unique method to generate a more
secured cryptographic key. This mode of operations in network security creates
more complexity for hackers to crack. Thus, security is further enhanced using
the above technique.
