Abstract

Biometric identification systems can be attacked at many vulnerable points. One of the vulnerable point is biometric database. Biometric authentication system can be easily spoofed by applying stolen protected template at matcher sub-system of biometric identification systems . This type of malicious manipulation is termed as replay attack. We propose a visual cryptography based technique which provide security against replay attack and also generate trustable biometric authentication system. In proposed work two shares are created based on protected template. One share (Share1) will be stored in database and another (Share2) is in secondary memory (RF ID card). So, stolen share1 is not useful for replay attack. Also without use of share2 one cannot generate original protected template. Therefore, system provides security against replay attack and it is trustable.
