Abstract : Biometric authentication plays a vital role in the cloud computing (CC) environment to accomplish security and privacy. Several kinds of biometrics are used for the authentication process, particularly, the fingerprint is a commonly used biometric, which accomplishes maximum security. But it can be easily stolen, unintentionally revealed, or difficult to remember. Therefore, biometric authentication techniques are needed and an encryption process is included to improve the security of the authentication process. In this aspect, this paper proposes a multiple share creation with an optimal signcryption-based biometric authentication system (MSCOS-BAS- FLNN- PeSeOA) for the cloud environment. The proposed model enables the creation of multiple shares of the input biometric image (fingerprint) and encrypts them for a secure authentication system. In addition, the encryption of individual shares takes place with an optimal signcryption system where the key generation process is carried out using the penguin search optimization algorithm (PeSeOA). Finally, the functional link neural network (FLNN) model is applied for the biometric authentication verification process. A wide range of simulation analyses are performed to highlight the supreme efficacy of the MSCOS-BAS- FLNN- PeSeOA technique. The experimental outcomes pointed out the hopeful performance of the MSCOS-BAS- FLNN- PeSeOA technique over the recent techniques.
