An emerging direction for authenticating people is the adoption of biometric authentication systems. Biometric credentials are becoming increasingly popular as a mean of authenticating people due to the wide rage of advantages that they provide with respect to classical authentication methods (e.g., password-based authentication). The most characteristic feature of this authentication method is...

Identification and authentication by individuals' biometric characteristics is becoming an accepted procedure that is slowly replacing the most popular identification procedure – passwords. Rapid progress of biometric technology and its expanded application brings new possibilities in identification process. The usage of biometric smart card in the process of identification and authentication i...

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 ...

--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...

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 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...
