Abstract: Aadhaar database is the world’s largest biometric database system. The security of Aadhaar database plays a major role. In order to secure such huge database, an encryption and decryption algorithm has been proposed in this paper. Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is a public key cryptography which is used to provide high security to those databases. The Aadhaar database contains individual personal information as well as their biometric identities. ECC is widely used for providing security to all kinds of data. ECC has smaller key size, fast computation, high throughput compared to other cryptographic algorithms. The data’s present in database are converted into their corresponding Pixel or ASCII values. After that the encryption process is done with the help of public key, private key, generation points and plain text. After the encryption process, the encrypted coordinates can be mapped with the generated points and from that corresponding ASCII value for text, pixel value for image can be retrieved. Then, the alphabet which is corresponding to ASCII will be displayed so that the cipher text can be viewed. This encrypted data is stored in the database. In order to retrieve the original data decryption process using ECC is carried out. In decryption process, receiver’s private key and cipher coordinates which is retrieved from encryption process are used. Therefore, the personal details of an individual can be retrieved with the presence of that particular person who only knows that private key. So, the hackers will not be able to retrieve the database of any individual just by knowing their Aadhaar ID. The proposed work is implemented in the MATLAB software. The Performance metrics like PSNR, Similarity, Correlation Coefficient, NPCR and UACI has been done for analysis.
