This paper outlines a novel biometric key release scheme to bind application-specific key from biometric data such that the key can be retrieved effectively by using DiscreteHashing and Reed Solomon Block Coding (RSB). We use fingerprint as a subject of study and our experiment shows that the proposed method could retrieve an error free key reliably from a legitimate fingerprint up to 99.8% suc...

Biometrics is the science and technology of measuring and analyzing biological data of human body, extracting a feature set from the acquired data, and comparing this set against to the template set in the database. Biometric techniques are gaining importance for personal authentication and identification as compared to the traditional authentication methods. User verification systems that use ...

The PIN based single level authorization of Mobile Payment System suffers several security leakage problems. Integrating biometric identifier as one more level of authorization increases the robustness of the payment system. But as mobile device and wireless network has certain constraint, so it is not possible to use any biometric identifier for authentication. This paper presents a comparativ...

This paper discusses the impact of human interaction with biometric devices and its relationship to biometric performance. The authors propose a model outlining the Human-Biometric Sensor Interaction and discuss its necessity through case studies in fingerprint recognition, hand geometry, and dynamic signature verification to further understand the human-sensor interaction issues and underlying...

Fingerprint is one of the most important biometric techniques for identification and authentication, which may also reduce the complexity (cost / time) of searching data in large database. Over the past several years various methods have been proposed for fingerprint identification, on the same way, this paper propose a new efficient method for fingerprint identification based on ridge and vall...

Fingerprint recognition is a commonly used biometric feature. This feature is used to authenticate a person’s identity. Orientation field estimation techniques are used to measure the orientation of a fingerprint. Reference point detection is used to deal with the issues of rotation and displacement. In this paper, different techniques of orientation field estimation and reference point detecti...

I. BASIC ARCHITECTURE The topic of this paper is a low-cost and self contained biometric verification device, devoted to physical or data access control. Because of its modularity, various means of biometric verification, as fingerprint, voice, handwritten signature, may be comblned by simply plugging in special-purpose cards and sensors. By combination, it is possible to increase the degree of...

A fingerprint is believed to be unique to each person and each finger. Fingerprints are one of the most full-grown biometric technologies and are used as proofs of evidence. A fingerprint consists of various types of minutiae and it is one of the most popular categories used in the fingerprint verification system. In this paper, a simple technique is proposed for fingerprint analysis using minu...
