With the advancement of IT, users can now share and use a vast amount of information, but at the same time, their personal information has been widely used and made public. The personal information used should be protected in a secure manner, and users should also go through the correct authentication process. For this, user biometric information is being used as an authentication method. Currently, there are various methods of authenticating using biometric information of a user. However, to build a secure authentication system, it is necessary to use a method with high entropy, which is easy to use and a measure of unpredictability. In a biometric authentication protocol currently used in many systems, biometric information required for authentication is stored and used in a certificate authority or a web server. This can result in the occurrence of information leakage. The paper utilizes data that can be used for passwords extracted using the Moiré technique to apply it to extracting user biometric information to propose a safer and convenient method of authentication. Also, it proposes an authentication protocol that can authenticate a user through a combination of user personal information and data extracted through Moiré technique using multi-factor authentication technology, without storing the data on the server of a certification authority.
