Our paper „Multiplication-Free Biometric Recognition for Faster Processing under Encryption” got accepted at the top conference IEEE IJCB 2022! In the paper, we describe a novel approach to speed up the execution of biometric recognition under homomorphic encryption. The use of homomorphic encryption protects the biometric data before, during, and after the recognition process. Concretely, we developed a biometric recognition system that works without any multiplication operation, which makes it particularly suitable to be used under homomorphic encryption as multiplication operations are very expensive operations to perform with the common homomorphic encryption schemes.
