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...

In this paper, fuzzy vault scheme is discussed for protection of templates in fingerprint recognition system. As fingerprint recognition system is most commonly used biometric, where minutiae points are stored as templates. If attacker gets this database, fake finger or artificial image can be created. Once biometric is compromised, it cannot be reused. This shows importance of template securit...

In biometrics, Fingerprint is widely used in identification of individual’s identity. Biometric recognition is leading technology for identification and security systems. Fingerprint has unique identification among all other biometric modalities. Use of the fingerprints as biometric characteristics is extensively used and developed for fingerprint recognition in forensic, civilian and commercia...

Fingerprint biometric is one of the most successful biometrics applied in both forensic law enforcement and security applications. Recent developments in fingerprint acquisition technology have resulted in touchless live scan devices that generate 3D representation of fingerprints, and thus can overcome the deformation and smearing problems caused by conventional contact-based acquisition techn...

Biometric based person identity verification is gaining more and more attention. Several studies have shown that multimodal biometric identification systems improve the recognition accuracy and reliability compared with recognition using a single biometric. The present paper introduces a new personal identification framework that is based on the fusion of face and fingerprint biometrics. The pr...

Recently, biometric security has become the major study to address biometric template security and user privacy. In this research, we focus on minutiae based fingerprint template protection. At the local level, two most prominent ridge characteristics of fingerprint, namely ridge termination and ridge bifurcation are detected to form minutia point (minutiae). In this context, a ridge ending is ...

Biometrics refers to automated recognition of individuals based on their biological and behavioral characteristics. Biometric systems are widely used for security. They are used in forensic and commercial applications. Among all biometric techniques, fingerprint recognition is the most widely used for personal identification systems due to its permanence and uniqueness. But biometric systems ar...

Biometric devices (such as fingerprint sensors, iris scanners, face recognition systems etc.) are becoming more and more popular in areas where personal identification is required migration control, physical access, online banking etc. Nowadays the most used biometric sensor is a fingerprint scanner which provides a good combination of accuracy, size and price. However, fingerprint recognition ...

Soft biometric traits like gender, age, height, weight, ethnicity, and eye color cannot provide reliable user recognition because they are not distinctive and permanent. However, such ancillary information can complement the identity information provided by the primary biometric traits (face, fingerprint, hand-geometry, iris, etc.). This paper describes a hybrid biometric system that uses face ...
