Abstract

Summary: Recently, in a variety of Internet of Things (IoT) application scenarios, fingerprint image as a common biological information has been widely collected. For example, in safe city projects, civil fingerprints representing unique identification are vastly assembled, stored, and transmitted wirelessly. Under such situations, data privacy protection becomes increasingly valued. In our study, this fundamental problem was centered. In our work, the method to remain secure in such an universal cloud based IoT system and the approach to hide important information in biologically collected data such are fully discussed. A new lightweight algorithm in protecting the privacy and integrity of data in a cloud based IoT system is badly needed. We believe that it is a way to hide the core information in the surrounding environment just like "Chameleon" to protect the data security. Thus, in this paper, we propose "CHAMELEON" by using least significant bits (LSB) to hide important information in fingerprint images and chaotic sequence encryption (CSE) to securely transmit useful data. The experimental results of this algorithm show that Chameleon can resist static attacks and protect the privacy of users regarding to the information security and integrity.
