Security with Noisy Data: On Private Biometrics, Secure Key Storage and Anti-Counterfeiting

Noisy data appear very naturally in applications where the authentication is based on physical identifiers. This book provides a self-contained overview of the techniques and applications of security based on noisy data. It provides a comprehensive overview of the theory of extracting cryptographic keys from noisy data, and describes applications in the field of biometrics, secure key storage, and anti-counterfeiting.
