Abstract

Biometric authentication systems can address the problems of genuine user verification and usability suffered by the conventional cryptosystems based on the password and token. However, as biometrics is not replaceable, its privacy has become a concern. Also, if the same biometrics is used in multiple applications, it will be vulnerable to potential cross-matching attacks. In this paper, a projection line method is proposed for cancelable fingerprint template design. The main advantage of this method is its simplicity. Because there exist many possibilities projecting minutia into the projection line controlled by the whole range of possible projection line properties, the proposed approach offers non-invertible transformation and also possess good revocability property.
