An improvement to a biometric.based multimedia content protection scheme

A biometric-based method for multimedia content protection was recently proposed. The method relies on biometric data of the user and a layered encryption mechanism to achieve confidentiality of the multimedia content. Our analysis suggests that the method originally proposed has a few security related problems and several unnecessary performance bottlenecks. We point these out and propose corresponding security and performance improvements in order to make the scheme practical and efficient for the task it was originally designed for.
