Biometric authentication is used to secure digital or physical access. Such an system uses a biometric database, where data are sometimes protected by cancelable transformations. This paper introduces the notion of masterkeys. A masterkey feature vector such that corresponding template matches with significant number templates stored in database. directly researched from but we also investigate...

Electrocardiogram (ECG) will be employed in clinical identification for cardiac perform. Also, because people have completely different electrocardiogram traces, therefore, they can be non-inheritable as promising biometric options for human identification. According to the utilized options, the existing ECG based mostly biometric systems is classified to fiducial and nonfiducial systems. The i...

The rapid development of biometric hardware and software, and the increased use of biometrics in identity management led to the appearance of the problem of interoperability of biometric systems as well as security of biometric information that is transmitted over the network. This paper analyzes the solution to the problem of security of biometric data transactions via network by implementing ...

A biometric system provides automatic recognition of an individual based on a unique feature or characteristic possessed by the individual. These biometric characteristic may physiological or behavioral. Unlike other identification methods such as id proof, tokens and password, the distinct aspect of biometric recognition comes into light from randomly distributed features in human being. In th...

Biometric security is a fast growing area. Protecting biometric data is very important since it can be misused by attackers. In order to increase security of biometric data there are different methods in which watermarking is widely accepted. A more acceptable, new important development in this area is reversible watermarking in which the original image can be completely restored and the waterm...

The term biometrics refers to “automated recognition of individuals based on their behavioral and biological characteristics” (ISO/IEC JTC1 SC37). Several physiological (static) as well as behavioral (non-static) biometric characteristics have been exploited (Jain, Flynn & Ross, 2008) such as fingerprints, iris, face, hand, voice, gait, keystroke dynamics, etc., depending on distinct types of a...

Abstract – Biometric as the science of recognizing an individual based on his or her physical or behavioral traits, it is beginning to gain acceptance as a legitimate method for determining an individual identity. Biometric have now been deployed in various commercial, civilian, and national security applications. Biometric described overview of various biometric techniques and the need to be a...

Fingerprint recognition is mostly used in biometric and security system that are practically applicable in different fields of national defense organization for various safety measures. Looking at the importance of biometric system, a lot of efforts have been carried out for recognition of fingerprint, but still there exist some issues, which demand for more attention and exploration. In this r...

This paper presents the design and development of a technique referred to as SIPPA – Secure Information Processing with Privacy Assurance – for biometric data reconstruction. SIPPA enables a client/server model with the following two properties: (1) the client party can compare the similarity between his/her sample data with the source data on the server side --without each party revealing his/...
