ON THE SECURITY OF NON-INVERTIBLE FINGERPRINT TEMPLATE TRANSFORMS

by Abhishek Nagar, Anil K. Jain
"... Many transformation functions have been proposed for generating revocable or non-invertible biometric templates. However, their security analysis either ignores the distribution of biometric features or uses inefficient feature matching. This usually leads to unrealistic estimates of security. In th ..."

A Fingerprint Encryption Scheme Based on Irreversible Function and Secure Authentication

by Yijun Yang , Jianping Yu , Peng Zhang , Shulan Wang
"... A fingerprint encryption scheme based on irreversible function has been designed in this paper. Since the fingerprint template includes almost the entire information of users' fingerprints, the personal authentication can be determined only by the fingerprint features. This paper proposes an i ..."

Then, Chinese remainder theorem is used to obtain the biokey from the integration of the transformed minutiae and the private key. The result shows

Symmetric hash functions for secure fingerprint biometric systems

by Faisal Farooq, Sergey Tulyakov, Praveer Mansukhani, Venu Govindaraju - Pattern Recognition Letters , 1991
"... Securing biometrics databases from being compromised is one of the most important challenges that must be overcome in order to demonstrate the viability of biometrics based authentication. In this paper we present a novel method of hashing fingerprint minutia and performing fingerprint identificatio ..."

In fact, most approaches of hashing minutia and developing a cancellable system described in the literature assume the location

Fingerprint warping using ridge curve correspondences

by Arun Ross, Sarat C. Dass, Anil K. Jain , 2006
"... The performance of a fingerprint matching system is affected by the nonlinear deformation introduced in the fingerprint impression during image acquisition. This nonlinear deformation causes fingerprint features such as minutiae points and ridge curves to be distorted in a complex manner. A techniq ..."
Abstract - Cited by 16 (3 self) - Add to MetaCart
technique is presented to estimate the nonlinear distortion in fingerprint pairs based on ridge curve correspondences. The nonlinear distortion, represented using the thin-plate spline (TPS) function, aids in the estimation of an “average” deformation model for a specific finger when several impressions
