A serious concern in the design and use of biometric authentication systems is the privacy
protection of the information derived from human biometric traits, especially since such traits …

Biometric systems have been recently developed and used for authentication or
identification in several scenarios, ranging from institutional purposes (border control) to …

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

Several proposals have been formulated to combine cryptography and biometrics in order to
secure data and to strengthen the personal authentication process, making the falsification …

Concerns of privacy, template security and efficiency of biometric authentication systems
have received considerable research attention in the recent past. Binary template …

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 …

Concerns on widespread use of biometric authentication systems are primarily centered
around template security, revocability, and privacy. The use of cryptographic primitives to …

Biometric verification has attracted attention recently because it is more secure than
knowledge-or token-based verification techniques. Multi-modal biometric verification can …

Biometric authentication refers to the automatic identification of a person by analyzing their
physiological and/or behavioral characteristics or traits. Since many physiological and …

Compared with traditional techniques used to establish the identity of a person, biometric
systems offer a greater confidence level that the authenticated individual is not …
