A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
Title : Biometric based Digital Signature scheme
Author(s) : R. Nagpal, S. Nagpal
Filename : draft-nagpal-biometric-digital-signature-00.txt
Pages : 6
Date : 13-May-02
Digital Signatures are fast emerging as a viable information security
solution, satiating the objectives of data integrity, entity
authentication, privacy, non-repudiation and certification.
The technique, as it stands today, faces the problem of the
maintenance of the secrecy of the private key. This document provides
a conceptual framework for the establishment of a biometric-based key
generation scheme. In this scheme, the private key is generated each
time a document or record requires to be signed. Such generation is
based upon a combination of biometric traits.

In the body type:

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
