Biometric covert acquisition protection by enhancing sweat glands and cryptography

Abstract

Various biometric technologies were developed and effectively used around the world which includes fingerprints, face, iris, palm-print, speech and signatures. Fingerprints are most preferred mainly due to low cost of algorithms and sensors. Spoof attacks and template leakage are the major vulnerabilities to biometric authentication system. A biometric authentication plan with template protection is an opposition to almost all types of adversaries. If someone's biometric template which is stored in the database of the system is compromised, it might result in identification theft of that person. In this paper template protection scheme with security approaches and effective preventions regarding spoof attacks are proposed having possible secure authentication through detection of sweat glands and application of cryptography techniques.
