An Improved Authentication Framework using Steganography along with Biometrics for Network Security

To protect the distributed system from unauthorized user, many technologies were proposed. But the security technology used in today’s computer and Internet environment is the three-factor approach, the three factors are IP, smart-card, biometrics (fingerprint) along with steganography. This scheme is proposed to upgrade threefactor authentication in which password is used instead of IP. Our new framework provides strong protection against different kinds of attacks at a reasonable computational cost.
