Biometric Authentication for the Cloud Computing

– Currently cloud computing is becoming a popular trend in IT industries. Many of the Enterprises / Businesses are using cloud for storing and maintaining their huge data on cloud servers. Early security was given by password and pin codes, by this hackerare able to crack these passwords easily so data is not secure until we have a secure mechanism to protect data/confidential information fromthe hackers. So, it is more important to make sure that the security of confidential business data in cloud storage along with making sure that only authorized person can access the application or data in the cloud. So here comes biometric security in the picture it increases competencelevel of security and allowing only authenticated individuals by verifying their biometric parameters. It includes patterns like fingerprints, face, voice, retina, iris, DNA recognition etc. Implementing this biometric system into cloud will make security of data to higher level. This paper come up with to enhance the protection of creating the biometric key from the fingerprint biometric with feature extraction. Therefore, it is unique and provides fast and contact-less authentication
