Betterment of Fingerprint Template Protection Schemes – A Review

Biometric security threat is an issue of dynamic attack against weakness in a biometric system. While biometrics may enhance security detached situations, in the same way as some other security system, it has vulnerabilities and it is vulnerable to threats. They are defenseless to outer vulnerabilities of biometric systems so that their shortcomings can be discovered and valuable counter measures against predictable attacks can be created. In this review, we have taken different categories of template protection methods and stated the evolution, usage, merits and demerits of each category along with comparison of the metrics GAR, FAR, FRR and EER in tabular form. This paper also suggests an ideology of a hybrid scheme of fingerprint template protection that will overcome the issues faced in prior approaches.
