Method for hiding of user’s biometric identifier and metadata in hybrid documentsToday people are surrounded by a digital environment with which they interact and as a result leave
hundreds of «digital traces». The entire amount of generated data is a combination of both primary
and secondary information. The program of the Russian Federation on the digitalization of the economy
aims to ensure the safety of the data.
Electronic Document Management (EDM) systems is a rapidly developing technology in the form
of a solution for organizations that provides an efficient way to manage information. The practice of
using documents in digital and analog form is called «mixed» document flow. Approaches to the protection
of mixed documents are fixed in the legislation of the Russian Federation. The requirements
for the implementation of methods to protect information in the information system, including EDM
systems, is to ensure the integrity, availability, confidentiality and authenticity of information. Here,
the usual password-based security and encryption mechanisms sometimes fail: they can be compromised,
falsified, or given to a third party. Unlike tokens or passwords, biometrics connects the concept
of «identity» directly with the owner. The question of choosing keys for asymmetric and symmetric
encryption, as well as their protection during storage and transmission, is gradually removed.
An intellectual and dynamic document additionally contains knowledge about itself and its environment.
For such documents, in order to provide security properties, it is necessary to create a method
for implicitly hiding of identifier and metadata related to the author and other users of the document.
