An Analysis of Minutiae Matching Strength
نویسندگان
چکیده
In recent years there has been exponential growth in the use of biometrics for user authentication applications because biometrics-based authentication offers several advantages over knowledge and possession-based methods such as password/PIN-based systems. However, it is important that biometrics-based authentication systems be designed to withstand different sources of attacks on the system when employed in security-critical applications. This is even more important for unattended remote applications such as e-commerce. In this paper we outline the potential security holes in a biometrics-based authentication scheme, quantify the numerical strength of one method of fingerprint matching, then discuss how to combat some of the remaining weaknesses.

Fingerprint Verification based on Fusion of Minutiae and Ridges using Strength Factors
With the increasing emphasis on the automatic personal identification applications, biometrics especially fingerprint identification is the most reliable and widely accepted technique. In this paper Fingerprint Verification based on fusion of Minutiae and Ridges using Strength Factors (FVMRSF) is presented. In the preprocessing stage the Fingerprint is Binarised and Thinned. The Minutiae Matchi...
متن کاملA Hybrid Fingerprint Matcher
Most fingerprint matching systems rely on the distribution of minutiae on the fingertip to represent and match fingerprints. While the ridge flow pattern is generally used for classifying fingerprints, it is seldom used for matching. This paper describes a hybrid fingerprint matching scheme that uses both minutiae and ridge flow information to represent and match fingerprints. A set of 8 Gabor ...
متن کاملA Coarse to Fine Minutiae-Based Latent Palm print Matching and fusion
In this paper, a coarse to fine matching strategy based on minutiae clustering and minutiae match propagation is designed specifically for palmprint matching and to deal with the large database and local feature-based minutiae clustering algorithm is designed to cluster minutiae into several groups such that minutiae belonging to the same group have similar local characteristics. The proposed p...
متن کاملFingerprint Recognition and Identification by Minutiae Detection and Phase Spectrum Analysis Algorithm
In this paper fingerprints are identified with the help of minutiae detection and phase spectrum analysis. This algorithm represents the fingerprint by calculating Minutiae & its local features, like terminations, bifurcations and Phase spectrum of all minutiae. The phase spectrum is calculated to characterize the minutiae structure in the neighborhood of a given minutia point. This is very goo...
متن کاملCombining Orientation Field for Fingerprint Matching
Minutia matching is a widely used method for fingerprint matching. In order to match regions containing no minutiae and match small-area fingerprints which contain not enough minutiae for matching, a method combining minutiae and orientation field is proposed for fingerprint matching. The proposed method leads to an improved performance compared with the minutiae-based method.
