Fuzzy identity-based identification (FIBI) scheme is a recently proposed cryptographic identification protocol. The scheme utilizes user biometric trait as public keys. The authentication is deemed success in the presence of the genuine query biometric together with the valid private key. Because of the fuzziness nature of biometrics, FIBI does not correct the errors on the query biometric with...

Biometrics is the study of automatically recognizing humans by means of inherently unique physical or behavioural characteristics. The human physical characteristics like fingerprints, face, hand geometry, voice, Signature, palm and iris are known as biometrics. These features are used to provide an authentication for computer based security systems. The existing computer security systems used ...

This study investigates various feature selection techniques for face recognition. Biometric based authentication system protects access to resources and has gained importance, because of their reliable, invariant and discriminating features. An automated biometric system is based on physiological or behavioral human characteristics for protected access. Biometric trait such as palmprint, iris,...

Fingerprint is most popular and common biometric trait used for authentication. The fingerprint is a physiological biometric characteristic to identify person. Fingerprint recognition is the problem of searching a fingerprint in the reference database to find a fingerprint that matches a given fingerprint. For enhancing the performance and accuracy of biometric fingerprint recognition system on...

Pattern Recognition, vol. 42, no. 9, pp. 1803-1815, September, 2009. On Estimating Performance Indices for Biometric Identification Jay Bhatnagar, Ajay Kumar Biometrics Research Laboratory Department of Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi Hauz Khas, New Delhi 110 016, INDIA Abstract This paper investigates an information theoretic approach for formulating performance in...

A biometric system which is based only on a single biometric identifier in making a personal identification is often not able to meet the desired performance requirements. Multimodal biometrics is an emerging field of biometric technology, where more than one biometric trait to improve the combined performance. We introduce a bimodal biometric system which integrates face and fingerprint. This ...

The system explores the possibility of combining two biometric systems for generating virtual identities. In biometric system the physical or behavioural traits are used for fusion. Biometric authentication provides high level of security. The proposed approach is to combine the palm print and fingerprint image using an appropriate fusion scheme. The comparison of database template and the inpu...

Biometric authentication is a promising approach to access control in consumer mobile devices. Most current mobile biometric authentication techniques, however, authenticate people based on a single biometric modality (e.g., iPhone 6 uses only fingerprints), which limits resistance to trait spoofing attacks and ability to accurately identify users under uncontrolled conditions in which mobile d...

This paper investigates a new approach to formulate performance indices of biometric system using information theoretic models. The performance indices proposed here (unlike conventionally used FAR, GAR, DET etc.) are scalable in estimating performance of large scale biometric system. This work proposes a framework for identification capacity of a biometric system, along with insights on number...
