Human authentication is the security task whose job is to limit access to physical locations or computer network only to those with authorisation. This is done by equipped authorised users with passwords, tokens or using their biometrics. Unfortunately, the first two suffer a lack of security as they are easy being forgotten and stolen; even biometrics also suffers from some inherent limitation and specific security threats. A more practical approach is to combine two or more factor authenticator to reap benefits in security or convenient or both. This paper proposed a novel two factor authenticator based on iterated inner products between tokenised pseudo-random number and the user specific fingerprint feature, which generated from the integrated wavelet and Fourier–Mellin transform, and hence produce a set of user specific compact code that coined as BioHashing. BioHashing highly tolerant of data capture offsets …
