Biometric recognition refers to the process of matching an input biometric to stored biometric information. In particular, biometric verification refers to matching the live biometric input from an individual to the stored biometric template about that individual. Examples of biometrics include face images, fingerprint images, iris images, retinal scans, etc. Thus, image processing techniques p...

Biometric techniques are gaining importance for personal authentication and identification as compared to the traditional authentication methods. Biometric templates are vulnerable to variety of attacks due to their inherent nature. When a person’s biometric is compromised his identity is lost. In contrast to password, biometric is not revocable. Therefore, providing security to the stored biom...

Biometric security systems that verify a person’s identity by scanning fingers, hands, eye or face are becoming more and more common. As a result biometrics is one of the fastest growing industries. Applications for biometrics range from homeland security (for example the European biometric passport), physical access to various facilities (banks, amusement parks, office buildings, computer term...

Abstract In 1999 Juels and Wattenberg introduced the fuzzy commitment scheme. Fuzzy commitment is a particular realization of a binary biometric secrecy system with a chosen secret key. Three cases of biometric sources are considered, i.e. memoryless and totally-symmetric biometric sources, memoryless and input-symmetric biometric sources, and memoryless biometric sources. It is shown that fuzz...

The paper presents a multimodal approach for biometric authentication, based on multiple classifiers. The proposed solution uses a post-classification biometric fusion method in which the biometric data classifiers outputs are combined in order to improve the overall biometric system performance by decreasing the classification error rates. The paper shows also the biometric recognition task im...

Imagine that you get such certain awesome experience and knowledge by only reading a book. How can? It seems to be greater when a book can be the best thing to discover.

One of them is this book advances in biometric person authentication international workshop on biometric recognition systems iwbrs 2005 beijing china october 22 23 2005...

Biometric Encryption (BE) is a group of emerging technologies that securely bind a digital key to a biometric or generate a digital key from the biometric, so that no biometric image or template is stored.What is stored is the BE template otherwise known as a ‘‘bio-metrically encrypted key’’ or ‘‘helper data.’’ As a result, neither the digital key nor the biometric can be retrieved from the sto...

Now a days Security of computer science and information technology is an important issue. Authentication and identification are related to the security. The traditional methods for confirming person identity involve use of ATM, Pins, and Password which can be lost or stolen. So it is needed to have a system which provide security and overcome the limitations of traditional methods. A biometric ...
