Abstract

The use of large-scale biometric fingerprint systems in both commercial and governmental systems has increased the interest and acceptance of users worldwide. Unfortunately, someone can copy and use fingerprints to assume another identity. Fingerprint encryption is the first and most effective way to keep it confidential. This paper presents a quantum-based method to encrypt fingerprints using the Twofish algorithm. The quantum representation used to store fingerprints is an adapted version of the Novel Enhanced Quantum (NEQR) model. The quantum circuits have been implemented and tested both on the IBMQ quantum computer and locally, on the QASM quantum simulator.
