Abstract

Quantum computing is based on the principles of quantum mechanics and uses quantum bits (qubits) that can exist in a state of superposition and entanglement. They promise a revolution in computing and information security. Firstly, using quantum algorithms in information technology opens up new possibilities for processing and protecting data. Secondly, biometric information security relies on a person's unique physical and behavioural characteristics, such as fingerprints, facial recognition, iris, voice, and others. These methods provide a high level of security due to their uniqueness and difficulty in counterfeiting. Combining the principles of quantum computing and biometric information security allows us to identify their similarities and integration capabilities to create reliable systems for protecting confidential information. While previous research in biometric information security has focused on individual aspects of decision-making to ensure the information security of educational institutions when using facial recognition technologies, this work presents a comprehensive framework combining several components into a single unified system for using various quantum cryptography algorithms. The main advantages of using quantum computing in object and image detection include accelerating the computational process using quantum components, robustness at different object angles, suitability for moving or static conditions, cryptographic noise immunity, and the ability to work in real practical conditions. The advantages of the quantum cryptographic scheme for face recognition technologies include ease of implementation, high cryptography security, the ability to parallelise the processes of encoding and decoding images, and the fact that complex computer equipment is not required. The study results provide a solid foundation for developing hybrid quantum computing and biometric information security technologies. Using the possibility of hybrid computing opens up new horizons for the standardisation and public dissemination of new technologies, and such a combination ensures reliable protection of confidential information and stimulates further research aimed at improving data protection methods in the context of the rapid development of the digital world.

Quantum-Enhanced Facial Biometrics: A Hybrid Framework with Post-Quantum Security

Satinder Singh, Avnish Thakur, Moin Hasan +1 more

Face recognition systems are widely used for biometric authentication but face two major problems. First, processing high-resolution images and large databases requires extensive computational time. Second, emerging quantum computers threaten to break the encryption methods that protect stored facial templates. Quantum computers will soon be able to decrypt current security systems, putting biometric data at permanent risk since facial features cannot be changed like passwords. This paper presents a solution that uses quantum computing to speed up face recognition while adding quantum-resistant security. It applies quantum principal component analysis (QPCA) and the SWAP test to reduce the computational complexity and implement lattice-based cryptography, which quantum computers cannot break. Experimental evaluation demonstrates a significant overall speedup with improved accuracy. The proposed framework achieves a significant improvement in performance, provides 125-bit security against quantum attacks and compresses the data storage requirements significantly. These results demonstrate that quantum-enhanced face recognition can solve both the speed and security challenges facing current biometric systems, making it practical for real-world deployment as quantum technology advances.

Quantum-Enhanced Iris Biometrics: Advancing Privacy and Security in Healthcare Systems

Dattatray Raghunath Kale, Hitesh Shinde, Radhika Rohan Shreshthi +3 more

Healthcare systems are rapidly becoming digital, which has increased the demand for safe, dependable, and privacy-preserving authentication methods. Iris biometrics have emerged as a key component for identity verification in delicate settings due to their high accuracy and stability. However, protecting privacy and data security is a difficulty for conventional biometric systems, particularly in light of new quantum risks. For advanced healthcare security, this study suggests a revolutionary quantum-enhanced, privacy-preserving iris biometrics system. Through the integration of quantum computing technologies, the framework makes use of quantum-accelerated algorithms like Grover's algorithm for efficient template matching and quantum-safe cryptography like Quantum Key Distribution (QKD). Homomorphic encryption and federated learning are two further ways to improve privacy preservation while guaranteeing adherence to HIPAA and other healthcare data protection laws. In comparison to conventional techniques, the suggested system performs better in terms of accuracy, security, and computational efficiency when tested on benchmark iris datasets. By filling important gaps in safe and privacy-focused identity management, this research creates a novel method at the nexus of quantum computing, biometrics, and healthcare.
