Establishing security using cryptography and biometric authentication to counter cyber-attacks

Recent years have seen a significant impact on many business-related aspects due to the emergence and growth of communication technologies, the IT sector, and cloud technology. Applications and services that utilize virtualization resources and run on a dispersed network are referred to “cloud computing” In cloud computing, authentication of users must be confirmed in order to be able to use the resources. It is worth noting that this inlet valve causes many attacks. So, designing a secure mechanism for user authenticity helps a lot to increase the overall security of the system. In this research, according to the works that have been done in the past in this field, we are trying to establish the security and authentication process in these systems through the integration of fingerprint encryption and lightweight ECC encryption. As the findings demonstrate, the strategy described in this study has demonstrated good performance and been able to identify more attacks. According to the results obtained from the simulation, it can be concluded that the proposed method has been able to reduce the computing load in cloud servers due to the use of light encryption method, and in addition, the use of fingerprints has been able to improve the percentage of system security. Therefore, the proposed method can be used in systems that suffer from low security.
