A biometric system is vulnerable to a variety of attacks aimed at undermining the integrity of
the authentication process. These attacks are intended to either circumvent the security …

Biometric authentication and identification systems are increasingly being used in place of
traditional security systems. The introduction of new technology brings new security …

Biometric authentication is often considered to enhance identity verification. The use of
biometrics also introduces new challenges to protect the privacy of the subjects while at the …

In spite of numerous advantages of biometrics-based personal authentication systems over
traditional security systems based on token or knowledge, they are vulnerable to attacks that …

Biometrics are an important and widely used class of methods for identity verification and
access control. Biometrics are attractive because they are inherent properties of an …

In this paper we show the feasibility of template protecting biometric authentication systems.
In particular, we apply template protection schemes to fingerprint data. Therefore we first …

One of the critical steps in designing a secure biometric system is protecting the templates of
the users that are stored either in a central database or on smart cards. If a biometric …

Biometrics-based authentication systems offer obvious usability advantages over traditional
password and token-based authentication schemes. However, biometrics raises several …

The goal of a biometric encryption system is to embed a secret into a biometric template in a
way that can only be decrypted with a biometric image from the enroled person. This paper …

Biometric based authentication can provide strong security guarantee about the identity of
users. Security of biometric data is particularly important as compromise of the data will be …
