Significance of Finger Prints in Prevention of Cyber Crimes - An Approach

With the development of science and technology human beings all over world live life of comfort and conveniently enjoy fruits there off. But people are being cheated by the misuse of Information Technology and the security of the Electronic Records is also at stake. Hacking or Unauthorized access to files or computer systems is one of the monsters existing in cyber space now a day. Here we are proposing an approach based on finger print identification where the files are transferred from a particular user using his finger print for authentication purpose. The Thinning algorithm is used for generating a unique key for each user. Proposed approach works such that user can select any type, any number of file he wants. The RSA algorithm is cryptographic encryptive algorithm used for encrypting the files. This algorithm uses two keys Public and Private Key. Each user will be provided with this key pair. All the user information will be maintained in database. The main objective of this approach is transferring the file in encrypted format using finger print security which helps in preventing unauthorized access to important files by the other person.
