Abstract |
|
Biometrics has an important role in privacy protection, when compared to traditional privacy protection methods like tokens, PIN, passwords etc. With the common use of fingerprint techniques in authentication systems, privacy protection of the fingerprint becomes an important issue. Traditional encryption is not sufficient for fingerprint privacy protection. The quality of fingerprints plays pivotal role in fingerprint matching. In order to improve the fingerprint quality, the fingerprint image is enhanced using laplacian pyramidal decomposition which will provide more help for law enforcement. In last few years, significant efforts have been put into developing specific protection techniques for fingerprint. In this paper various methods of biometric template protection of fingerprint by mixing the fingerprints or multi-biometrics has also been surveyed. |
