Fingerprint verification is an important biometric technology. In this paper, an improved fingerprint matching approach that uses weighting method and support vector machine (SVM) is presented. The traditional minutiae-based matching task is transformed to a classification task in the proposed approach using SVM. Furthermore, a new weight feature is introduced based on the distance between minu...

A digital certificate under Public Key Infrastructure has a defect of Man-in-the-Middle Attack that performs hash collision attacks. In this paper, we propose a robust biometric-PKI authentication system against Man-in-the-Middle Attack. The biometric-PKI authentication system consists of current PKI authentication and biometric authentication, which employs biometric data and a public key from...

Biometric authentication technologies, such as fingerprint, face, iris, and vein, have been widespread in many applications from individual portable devices to national ID management systems. Furthermore, relatively newer biometric authentication modalities including eye movement, lip-motion, etc., have been also researched and developed in order to improve an authentication accuracy and an usa...

Technology advances day by day and the new things are being developed. There are many new technologies being introduced and developed in any discipline. Data Security plays a vital role and Biometric security systems is one of the new trends to be developed, which has its advantages for controlling access, protecting sensitive data, tracking on-line systems, etc.,. Biometric technologies such a...

The Biometric is the study of physiological or behavioral characteristics used for the identification of a person. These characteristics of a person include the features like fingerprint, face; hand geometry, voice and iris are known as biometrics. Typical physiological features measured include individual’s fingerprints, retina, face, iris and hand. Typical behavioral features that can be meas...

Fuzzy vault is a practical and promising scheme, which can protect biometric templates and perform secure key management simultaneously. Alignment of the template biometric sample and the query one in the encrypted domain remains a challenging task. While implementing fuzzy fingerprint vault, the accuracy of alignment in encrypted domain cannot be ensured and the information leakage may be caus...

Due to growing concerns of authentication and security in the world, biometric security systems are becoming increasingly popular. Fingerprints tend to be the most used biometric feature in most security and identification system. In any fingerprint identification system, enhancement of the fingerprint image prior to recognition is essential. A fingerprint is an impression left by the friction ...

The Biometric based user authentication systems are highly secured and efficient to use and place total trust on the authentication server where biometric verification data are stored in a central database. Such systems are, prone to dictionary attacks initiated at the server side. Compromise of the authentication server by either outsiders or insiders do all user private data to exposure and m...

To achieve data storage security in cloud, bio cryptography techniques can be used. This study presents Personal identification using fingerprint and Iris biometric technology. Usually unimodal biometric techniques are used. Cloud computing provides many resources, very convenient charged service and minimum cost computing. This leads the cloud computing to become the most dominant computing in...

The Biometric recognition is an important parameter used for Human Identification and Verification. There are already various Biometrics available in today’s world, but not all of them are used commercially. The most widely used Biometrics is also prone to errors and can cause falsification. This paves way for a need of novel Biometric Recognition. A new approach in Human Identification & verif...
