The increasing use of biometrics has given rise to new privacy concerns. Biometric
encryption systems have been proposed in order to alleviate such concerns: rather than …

Cancelable biometrics and secure sketches have been introduced with the same purpose in
mind: to protect the privacy of biometric templates while keeping the ability to match this …

Secure sketches and fuzzy extractors enable the use of biometric data in cryptographic
applications by correcting errors in noisy biometric readings and producing cryptographic …

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 …

This overview paper outlines our views of actual security of biometric authentication and
encryption systems. The attractiveness of some novel approaches like cryptographic key …

In traditional cryptosystems, user authentication is based on the possession of secret
keys/tokens. Such keys can be forgotten, lost, stolen, or may be illegally shared, but an …

There have been active discussions on how to derive a consistent cryptographic key from
noisy data such as biometric templates, with the help of some extra information called a …
