Biometric recognition, or biometrics, refers to the authentication of an individual based on her or his biometric traits. Among the various biometric traits (e.g., face, iris, fingerprint, voice), fingerprint-based authentication has the longest history, and it has been successfully adopted in both forensic and civilian applications. Advances in fingerprint capture technology have resulted in n...

Biometric systems identify a person through physical traits or verify his/her identity through automatic processes. Various systems were used over years including systems like fingerprint, iris, facial images, hand geometry and speaker recognition. For biometric systems successful implementation, it has to address issues like efficiency, accuracy, applicability, robustness and universality. Sin...

Multi-biometric systems are being increasingly deployed in many large biometric applications, because they have several advantages such as lower error rates. Multi-biometric systems require storage of multiple biometric templates (e.g., fingerprint, iris and face) for each user, which results in increased user privacy and system security. The features of fingerprint, iris and face are obtained....

Fingerprint recognition has attracted various researchers and achieved great success. But, fingerprint alone may not be able to meet the increasing demand of high accuracy in today’s biometric system. The purpose of our paper is to inspect whether the integration of palmprint and fingerprint biometric can achieve performance that may not be possible using a single biometric technology. Pre-proc...

The possibility that a database with biometric data is compromised is one of the main concerns in implementing biometric identification systems. In this paper we present a method of hashing fingerprint minutia information and performing fingerprint identification in a new space. Only hashed data is transmitted and stored in the server database, and it is not possible to restore fingerprint minu...

Biometric technologies are automated methods of verifying or recognizing. This work is particularly targeted towards the SURF,HARRIS and MSER calculations for biometric fingerprint calculations .These three features are used parallel to get the better identification results, FAR is proved 0 with the three algorithms and FRR is 1 with the same i.e. SURF, HARRIS and MSER and matching the maximum ...

Biometric-based authentication can provide strong security guarantee about the identity of users. However, security of biometric data is particularly important as the compromise of the data will be permanent. To protect the biometric data, we need to store it in a non–invertible transformed version. Thus, even if the transformed version is compromised, the actual biometric data remains safe. In...

Biometric time and attendance system is one of the most successful applications of biometric technology. One of the main advantage of a biometric time and attendance system is it avoids "buddy-punching". Buddy punching was a major loophole which will be exploiting in the traditional time attendance systems. Fingerprint recognition is an established field today, but still identifying individual ...

Biometric signatures, or biometrics, are used to identify individuals by measuring certain unique physical and behavioral characteristics. Individuals must be identified to allow or prohibit access to secure areas—or to enable them to use personal digital devices such as, computer, personal digital assistant (PDA), or mobile phone. Virtually all biometric methods are implemented using the follo...
