O n the basis of media hype alone, you might conclude that biometric passwords will soon replace their alphanumeric counterparts with versions that cannot be stolen, forgotten , lost, or given to another person. But what if the performance estimates of these systems are far more impressive than their actual performance? To measure the real-life performance of biometric systems—and to understand...

In this contribution a survey is presented about the possibilities and difficulties of a cryptographic protection of biometric information for the purpose of authentication. The crucial role of sufficient information content of biometric templates will be presented. It will be shown how to use this approach of a cryptographic protection of biometric templates in connection with biometric databa...

Every colleges, offices, banks and industry are using biometric recognition system for authentication of employers. This biometric authentication system are use biometric templates or characteristics of employer and based on comparison of this template with enrolled data or template of employer for making decision about allowed enter into organization or not. So protection and recognition of hu...

Recently, biometric market is growing rapidly and biometric applications can be found in diverse areas such as border control, banking, ID-documents, access control, etc. However, usage of personal biometric information can harm privacy of users and raise problems of cross matching and identity theft. Privacy preserving techniques like template protection are an important supplement to biometri...

Biometric recognition systems use measures from the body itself to determine the identity of an individual. The electrocardiogram (ECG) has been increasingly used as a biometric measure for person identification, as it is an easily measurable characteristic of all individuals. Our method for ECG acquisition follows an off-the-person approach, using a single ECG lead with non-gelled electrodes p...

Biometric information is regarded as highly sensitive information and therefore encryption techniques for biometric information are needed to address security and privacy requirements of biometric information. Most security analyses for these encryption techniques focus on the scenario of one user enrolled in a single biometric system. In practice, biometric systems are deployed at different pl...

Biometric authentication offers many benefits ranging from strong security guarantees to user convenience, however, remote authentication poses unique challenges which are not fully addressed by biometrics alone. We propose a new remote authentication protocol that combines possessionbased authentication and biometrics in a way that conquers the main weaknesses of both authentication methods. O...

Biometric scheme are being widely employed because their security merits over the earlier authentication system based on records that can be easily lost, guessed or forged. High scale employments and the related template storage have increased the requirement to guard the biometric data stored in the system. Theft of biometric information is a negotiation of the user’s privacy. In Addition, the...
