Security of biometric templates stored in a system is important because a stolen template
can compromise system security as well as user privacy. Therefore, a number of secure …

Securing biometrics databases from being compromised is an important research challenge
that must be overcome in order to support widespread use of biometrics based …

Biometric systems are increasingly replacing traditional password-and token-based
authentication systems. Security and recognition accuracy are the two most important …

Minutiae point pattern matching is the most common approach for fingerprint verification.
Although many minutiae point pattern matching algorithms have been proposed, reliable …

Extracting and fusing discriminative features in fingerprint matching, especially in distorted
fingerprint matching, is a challenging task. In this paper, we introduce two novel features to …

Biometrics-based authentication systems offer enhanced security and user convenience
compared to traditional token-based (eg, ID card) and knowledge-based (eg, password) …

This paper introduces a novel fingerprint matching algorithm using both ridge features and
the conventional minutiae feature to increase the recognition performance against nonlinear …

Biometric systems operate on behavioral and physiological biometric data to identify a
person. Fingerprint recognition is a part of biometrics which focuses on finding the pattern of …

Despite advances in fingerprint identification techniques, matching incomplete or partial
fingerprints still poses a difficult challenge. While the introduction of compact silicon chip …

Automatic Fingerprint authentication for personal identification and verification has received
considerable attention over the past decades among various biometric techniques because …
