A Fingerprint Pattern Approach to Hill Cipher Implementation

The human fingerprint always becomes the way to verify the originality of the ownership. It can be connected to the security methods to increase the security level. Hill Cipher in one of the cryptography algorithms that can attach the digital fingerprint pattern. There are several matrix sizes to implement its process. This study focuses to a 3 x 3 matrix in the application. It provides nine integer numbers to perform the encryption which determinant has already been tested before. The concept is to link the digital fingerprint pattern to produce the automatic key generator. Not all the determinant value can get the ciphertext back to the original message. A threshold is used to adjust the determinant. It produces the different numbers when to be shifted. The correct numbers will be occupied in the matrix. When the numbers are available, the cryptography process can be performed.
