A Geometric Transformation to Protect Minutiae-Based Fingerprint Templates

by Yagiz Sutcu A, Husrev T. Sencar B, Nasir Memon B
"... The increasing use of biometrics in different environments presents new challenges. Most importantly, biometric data are irreplaceable. Therefore, storing biometric templates, which is unique to individual user, entails significant security risks. In this paper, we propose a geometric transformation ..."

transformation for securing the minutiae based fingerprint templates. The proposed scheme employs a robust one-way transformation that maps geometrical configuration of the minutiae points into a fixed-length code vector. This representation enables efficient alignment and reliable matching. Experiments

A Fast Minutiae-Based Fingerprint Recognition System

by Haiyun Xu, Raymond N. J. Veldhuis, Tom A. M. Kevenaar, Ton A. H. M. Akkermans - IEEE System Journal , 2009
"... Abstract—The spectral minutiae representation is a method to represent a minutiae set as a fixed-length feature vector, which is invariant to translation, and in which rotation and scaling become translations, so that they can be easily compensated for. These characteristics enable the combination o ..."

of fingerprint recognition systems with template protection schemes that require as an input a fixed-length feature vector. Based on the spectral minutiae features, this paper introduces two feature reduction algorithms: the Column Principal Component Analysis and the Line Discrete Fourier Transform feature

Secure Minutiae-Based Fingerprint Templates Using Random Triangle Hashing

by Zhe Jin, Andrew Beng, Jin Teoh, Thian Song Ong, Connie Tee
"... Abstract. Due to privacy concern on the widespread use of biometric authentication systems, biometric template protection has gained great attention in the biometric research recently. It is a challenging task to design a biometric template protection scheme which is anonymous, revocable and noninve ..."

. In this method, realignment of fingerprints is not required as all the minutiae are translated into a pre-defined 2 dimensional space based on a reference minutia. After that, the proposed Random Triangle hashing method is used to enforce the one-way property (non-invertibility) of the biometric template

Efficient Minutiae-Based Fingerprint Matching

by G. Eckert, S. Müller, T. Wiebesiek
"... We propose a new and efficient method for minutiae-based fingerprint matching, that is invariant to translation, rotation and distortion effects of fingerprint patterns. The algorithm is separated from a prior feature extraction and uses a compact description of minutiae features in fingerprints. Th ..."

A Minutiae-based Fingerprint Matching Algorithm Using Phase Correlation

by Weiping Chen, Yongsheng Gao
"... Minutiae-based method is the most popular approach in fingerprint matching. However, most existing methods need to search for the best correspondence of minutiae pairs or use reference points (core and delta points) to estimate the alignment parameters. The problem of lost minutiae or spurious minut ..."

Fuzzy Extractors for Minutiae-Based Fingerprint Authentication

by Arathi Arakala, Jason Jeffers, K. J. Horadam - In Proceedings of Second International Conference on Biometrics, pages 760–769, Seoul, South Korea , 2007
"... Abstract. We propose an authentication scheme using fingerprint biometrics, protected by a construct called a Fuzzy Extractor. We look at a new way of quantizing and digitally representing the minutiae measurements so that a construct called PinSketch can be applied to the minutiae. This is converte ..."

Absolute Fingerprint Pre-Alignment in Minutiae-Based Cryptosystems

by Benjamin Tams
"... Abstract: Most biometric cryptosystems that have been proposed to protect finger-print minutiae make use of public alignment helper data. This, however, has the inad-vertent effect of information leakage about the protected templates. A countermeasure to avoid auxiliary alignment data is to protect ..."
