    Biometric based digital signature scheme for land registry verification
    (International Journal of Research Publications (, 2018-09-08) Sinthujan, R; Senthilkumaran, S; Pranavan, N; Vijitharan, V; Abeywardena, K. Y
    One of the most common and frequent problem faced by developing countries like Sri Lanka is the management and administration of land properties due to poor land ownership verification mechanisms exercised by government in the sector of land registry department. This leads to cases like land fraudulent, land encroachment, land misuse and land disuse. This research paper states of a biometric based verification scheme for land property management which guarantees the authenticity of land ownership, integrity of land information, and non-repudiation of land transactions. The goal is to generate biometric based asymmetric keys from a personnel’s fingerprint to be used for digitally signing the land registry document and then to verify that signature in a secure way where some of the key procedures must take place within an isolated area like sandbox environment to ensure the security and robustness of the system. Also, there are procedures in place for handling disputes that can be confronted when implementing a land management system with biometric verification procedures. This biometric based verification scheme is not limited only within the boundaries of the land registry domain, but can also be extended and applied as a generic solution for many other similar domains where the verification procedure is vital and a must.
