RSA based biometric encryption system using FPGA for increased security

The biometric encryption system is a significant addition in the areas of privacy, security and convenience among its users. The intent of this research is to propose an RSA based biometric encryption system which can be realized on field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) using hardware-software co-design methods. Due to the high number of hackers that stand to profit from sub-par security methods, the proposed design will serve as a high level of security. This implementation can be applied in many areas of life including but not limited to password replacement, building and equipment access, and payroll and timekeeping procedures
