Levels of security according to the easiness to steel biometric data

guess that stealing information of someone's "face" is easier than stealing information about someone's "fingerprints", but stealing information about someone's "retina" would be much harder. Such a scale can be useful in the design of secure protoc

6 (not 8??!?!). Anyway, this suggest one obvious thing: if a PK system is built over Z_{2^x}[x_1,x_2,...,x_m] then the number of variables m have to be at least 80 (or 128, or 196, ...) in order to eliminate the Hansel lifting as a form of attack. But t

which is different than just solving polynomials (univariate or multivariate) modulo 2^32. I will appreciate any hint or coment. Regards, Danilo Gligoroski - The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe
