| Summary: | Data collection and storage in a large size is done on a routine basis in any company or organization. To this end, wireless network infrastructure and cloud computing are two widely-used tools. With the use of such services, less time is needed to attain the required output, and also managing the jobs will be simpler for users. General services employ a unique identifier for the aim of storing data in a digital database. However, it may be associated with some limitations and challenges. There is a link between the unique identifier and the data holder, e.g., name, address, Identity card number, etc. Attackers can manipulate a unique identifier for stealing the whole data. To get the data needed, attackers may even eavesdrop or guess. It results in lack of data privacy protection. As a result, it is necessary to take into consideration the data privacy issues in any data digital data storage. With the use of current services, there is a high possibility of exposure and leak of data/information to an unauthorized party during their transfer process. In addition, attacks may take place against services; for instance spoofing attacks, forgery attacks, etc. in the course of information transaction. To address such risks, this paper suggests the use of a biometric authentication method by means of a palm vein during the authentication process. Furthermore, a pseudonym creation technique is adopted to make the database record anonymous, which can make sure the data is properly protected. This way, any unauthorized party cannot gain access to data/information. The proposed system can resolve the information leaked, the user true identity is never revealed to others. |
