Implementation of AES using biometric

Abstrak

Mobile Adhoc network is the most advanced emerging technology in the field of wireless communication. MANETs mainly have the capacity of self-forming, self-healing, enabling peer to peer communication between the nodes, without relying on any centralized network architecture. MANETs are made applicable mainly to military applications, rescue operations and home networking. Practically, MANET could be attacked by several ways using multiple methods. Research on MANET emphasizes on data security issues, as the Adhoc network does not befit security mechanism associated with static networks. This paper focuses mainly on data security techniques incorporated in MANET. Also this paper proposes an implementation of Advanced Encryption Standard using biometric key for MANETs. AES implementation includes, the design of most robust Substitution-Box implementation which defines a nonlinear behavior and mitigates malicious attacks, with an extended security definition. The key for AES is generated using most reliable, robust and precise biometric processing. In this paper, the input message is encrypted by AES powered by secured nonlinear S-box using finger print biometric feature and is decrypted using the reverse process.
