--This paper is a brief review of fuzzy vault which is a biometric template security technique. The advent of technology over the last decade has established biometric identification as an electronic equivalent to physical verification. Biometric traits offer a reliable solution to the problem of user authentication in identity management systems. Biometric based authentication has more advanta...

Biometric-based techniques have recently emerged as a trustworthy and effective approach of user authentication; however, unlike conventional authentication methods such as passwords and tokens, if an enrolled biometric template is compromised, usually it cannot be revoked or re-issued. In this paper, four naive cancelable techniques, namely, shifting, password-dependent shifting, XOR and addin...

Currently, evaluation of biometric authentication systems depends on biometric databases. Such databases usually consist of biometric data collected in cooperation with a lot of volunteers. If the number of volunteers involved in a database becomes very large and if the database is circulated from a organization to other, there arises a new threat that the privacy of the volunteers might be inf...

-Security is a major issue in Automated Teller Machine (ATM).with the wide spread utilization of electronic transactions it is necessary to increase customers recognition accuracy. Biometric systems can offer convenient and secure mode of authentication to the customers. This paper proposes a survey of how multimodal biometric system enhances level of security in ATM system. Multimodal biometri...

As biometric techniques are being used in a growing number of applications, biometric template security is becoming of great concern in biometric systems. Unlike passwords and tokens, compromised biometric templates cannot be revoked and reissued. In this paper we propose a biometric authentication system based on face recognition using 2D Discrete Cosine Transform and neural networks. A discri...

Biometric is the science of establishing the identity of on individual based on physical or behavioral traits such as face, fingerprint, Iris. The increasing popularity of biometrics offers personal identification systems greater security and convenient than password authentication system. A biometric system operates by acquiring raw biometric data from a subject, extracting a feature set from ...

Biometric recognition offers a reliable solution to the problem of user authentication in identity management systems. With the widespread deployment of biometric systems in various applications, there are increasing concerns about the security and privacy of biometric technology. Public acceptance of biometrics technology will depend on the ability of system designers to demonstrate that these...

Biometric databases are the set of biometric features collected from a large public domain for the evaluation of biometric systems. For the evaluation of any algorithm for a particular biometric trait, the database should be a large collection of that particular biometric trait. The creation and maintenance of biometric databases involve various steps like enrollment and training. Enrollment is...
