Rostec State Corporation's Roselectronics Holding has created a neural network for the safe use of human biometric data. The development converts biometric information into special electronic encryption keys. At the same time, both keys and personalized biometric data are immediately erased after use and are not stored anywhere, which means they cannot be stolen. The software product "Biometrics-code" can be used, for example, when creating digital identity cards – passports, driver's licenses, insurance certificates.
The technology can also be used for electronic voting, in payment systems, in medical systems when storing medical records, making prescriptions and sick leaves.
The technology allows you to protect biometric and personal information through the use of neural networks. Instead of storing human identification data and encryption keys, the software involves the use of neural networks trained to reproduce cryptographic keys from the biometric data of their owner.
"Reliable protection of personal and biometric data during the transition to the use of digital identities is one of the priorities of our developers. The technology created by the specialists of Roselectronics is capable of depersonalizing information and making sure that only their direct "owner" has access to their data using a cryptographic key, which, in turn, is divided into two halves. One is a neural network, the second is the person himself with his unique biometrics. Using it, for example, a scan of the retina of the eye, the user runs a program that selects his data from an unstructured array. Thus, an outsider will not be able to access personal information, since only a neural network is able to find it and only with the participation of its direct owner," said Oleg Yevtushenko, executive director of Rostec State Corporation.
As part of Roselectronics, the Penza Research Electrotechnical Institute (PNIEI) of the Automatics concern is developing.
"Most modern products are based on imported technology, which copes with only part of the tasks – the allocation of personal biometric features. But she is not responsible for their safety. Our technology allows us to provide reliable data protection and form an indissoluble connection of personal data with the physiological characteristics of the subject. Electronic documents can be stored on phones, flash drives, in the "cloud" in encrypted form. Only the owner will be able to decipher them," said Andrey Motorko, CEO of Automatika Concern.
Penza Research Electrotechnical Institute as part of "Automatics" is engaged in the development and production of cryptographic information protection equipment, telecommunications equipment for special communication networks.
