A Dual Integrated Watermarking Approach for Biometric Authentication

To improve the information authentication and network security one of the effective authentication mechanism is Biometric authentication System. But when this authentication system is a offline authentication system, in such case, it is required to secure this authentication information. In this work, a biometric watermarking based authentication system is defined to secure the authentication system. In this work, biometric thumb image is watermarked in facial image to provide the security to biometric authentication system. The obtained results provided by the system ensure the effective system integrity and reliability. Keywords— Watermarking, Biometric, Thumb Impression, Security, Integrity
