Multimodal Biometrics for authentication using DRM Technique

Aim of this project is to implement a novel authentication scheme to establish Digital Rights Management (DRM) based on multimodal biometric verification and watermarking technique. Security of biometric system is a major concern. An attack on a biometric system can result in loss of privacy, monetary damage and security breach. Biometric system offer better security then existing approaches. The Highly secure face and iris features are used for multimodal biometric verification. Face image is taken to be the host image and the iris feature is selected as the watermark hidden in the host image. Such that iris feature watermark not only protects face biometric data but also can be used as covert recognition. To evaluate the performance of watermarking for multimodal biometrics embedding iris feature into a face image. The first process is enrollment of the victim’s face and iris features in the available database. Second authentication is done by comparing the features of face image in the data base when it matches, the iris feature is extracted and compared with data base then verify the authentication. This type of biometric system protects the biometric template and improves the security and privacy level of biometric authentication.
