--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...

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...

The primary application focus of biometric technology is the verification and identification of humans using their possessed biological (anatomical, physiological and behavioral) properties. Recent advances in biometric processing of individual biometric modalities (sources of identification data such as facial features, iris patterns, voice, gait, ear topology, etc.) encompass all aspects of s...

In biometrics, Fingerprint is widely used in identification of individual’s identity. Biometric recognition is leading technology for identification and security systems. Fingerprint has unique identification among all other biometric modalities. Use of the fingerprints as biometric characteristics is extensively used and developed for fingerprint recognition in forensic, civilian and commercia...

Biometric identification systems are principally related to the information security as well as data protection and encryption. The paper proposes a method to integrate biometrics data encryption and authentication into error correction techniques. The normal methods of biometric templates matching are replaced by a more powerful and high quality identification approach based on Grӧbner bases c...

1. Personal Identification For thousands of years, humans have instinctively used some physical characteristics (such as face, voice, posture, etc.) to recognize each other. About half the 800, A. Bertillon, chief of criminal identification section of the Paris police, plans to use some measures of the human body (height, length of arms, feet, fingers, etc.) to identify those responsible crimes...
