 ABSTRACT
In today’s world, security has become a major thing and
becomes very important
Cryptography has been the most popular technology for
the security purpose.
Due to some limitations in cryptography has triggered to
BIOMETRICS based cryptographic key.
Human Iris was found out the best biometric identifier.
Iris of the same person captured in different time may
differ due to signal noise of the environment.
Hamming distance and weighted Euclidean distance are
used to match the iris pattern and identification process.
 Objective
In our project, we are going to correct
the signal noise errors using Reed
Solomon error correction code by
enrolling iris image along with the
password.
Our results can assure a higher security
with a low false rejection or false
acceptance rate.
Why biometrics?
In recent year wide varieties of identification and
authentication options for security d has been
obtained through key, smartcard, ID badges,
password, PIN, security questions.
 These security features are easily
stolen,forgotten,shared and cracked.

So biometrics is an unrevealing one which fulfills the

properties of nonrepudiation,privacy and unbreakable
security.
 BIOMETRICS
Biometrics refers to the identification and verification
of a human identity by measuring and analyzing the
physiological or the biological information of a
human.

Basically biometrics can be divided into two types.

They are
Structural biometrics
Behavioral biometrics
