Biometric template protection is one of the most important issues in deploying a practical
biometric system. To tackle this problem, many algorithms, that do not store the template in …

Biometric encryption is the basis for biometric template protection and information security.
While existing methods are based on iris or fingerprint modality, face has so far been …

The combination of cryptology and biometrics has emerged as promising component of
information security. Despite the current popularity of palmprint biometric, there has not been …

Biometric technologies promise many benefits, including stronger user authentication,
greater user convenience, improved security, and operational efficiencies. These …

In order to increase security in common key management systems, the majority of so-called
Biometric Cryptosystems aim at coupling cryptographic systems with biometric recognition …

In this work we present an iris-biometric cryptosystem. Based on the idea of exploiting the
most reliable components of iriscodes, cryptographic keys are extracted, long enough to be …

The challenges in biometrics research activities have expanded recently to include the
maintenance of security and privacy of biometric templates beside the traditional work to …

Cancelable biometrics were introduced by Ratha et al. in 2001 to obtain templates which are
renewable and do not let come back to the original biometric trait. We extend this technique …

Privacy and security are vital concerns for practical biometric systems. The concept of
cancelable or revocable biometrics has been proposed as a solution for biometric template …

Unswerving information security mechanisms are the need of the hour for fighting the
escalating enormity of identity theft in our society. Besides cryptography being a dominant …
