Now-a-days, biometric systems have replaced the password or token based authentication system in many fields to improve the security level. However, biometric system is also vulnerable to security threats. Unlike password based system, biometric templates cannot be replaced if lost or compromised. To deal with the issue of the compromised biometric template, template protection schemes evolved to make it possible to replace the biometric template. Cancelable biometric is such a template protection scheme that replaces a biometric template when the stored template is stolen or lost. It is a feature domain transformation where a distorted version of a biometric template is generated and matched in the transformed domain. This paper presents a review on the state-of-the-art and analysis of different existing methods of biometric based authentication system and cancelable biometric systems along with an elaborate focus on cancelable biometrics in order to show its advantages over the standard biometric systems through some generalized standards and guidelines acquired from the literature. We also proposed a highly secure method for cancelable biometrics using a non-invertible function based on Discrete Cosine Transformation (DCT) and Huffman encoding. We tested and evaluated the proposed novel method for 50 users and achieved good results.Key Words: Biometrics, Cancelable Biometrics, Security, Biometric Salting, Non-Invertible Transformation INTRODUCTIONThe biometric traits possessed by each individual are unique and has the potential to recognize an individual. Biometric traits can be physical and behavioral. Therefore, biometrics are used for authentication or recognition of individuals for many critical applications like border control, access control, immigration, forensic and different law enforcement. There are two phases in every conventional biometric system: enrolment phase and authentication phase. In the enrolment stage, the original biometric trait is captured and saved in the database. During the authentication stage, the system matches that stored template every time the user access the system by providing the live biometric (Kaur et al. 2014).Compared to password or token based authentication system, biometric system using fingerprint, iris, face, voice, etc. provides better security as people cannot lose or forget their biometric trait. But, the advanced technology of today's world makes it possible to create a loophole in the biometric system. People leave their fingerprints on whatever they touch; hence one can easily steal the fingerprint and can even make an artificial finger using the stolen fingerprint. The person's face can be captured by the camera even from a distance without their concern. In such situation, the security of the biometric based authentication system is at a stake.To overcome the problem of the stolen biometrics, the researchers have developed the template protection schemes. The biometric template protection schemes are mainly divided into two categories: i) Biomet...

Form a privacy perspective most concerns against the common use of biometrics arise from the storage and misuse of biometric data. Biometric cryptosystems and cancelable biometrics represent emerging technologies of biometric template protection addressing these concerns and improving public confidence and acceptance of biometrics. In addition, biometric cryptosystems provide mechanisms for biometric-dependent key-release. In the last years a significant amount of approaches to both technologies have been published. A comprehensive survey of biometric cryptosystems and cancelable biometrics is presented. State-of-the-art approaches are reviewed based on which an in-depth discussion and an outlook to future prospects are given.

In the light of recent security incidents, leading to compromise of services using single factor authentication mechanisms, industry and academia researchers are actively investigating novel multi-factor authentication schemes. Moreover, exposure of unprotected authentication data is a high risk threat for organizations with online presence. The challenge is: how to ensure security of multifactor authentication data without deteriorating the performance of an identity verification system? To solve this problem, we present a novel framework that applies random projections to biometric data (inherence factor), using secure keys derived from passwords (knowledge factor), to generate inherently secure, efficient and revocable/renewable biometric templates for users' verification. We evaluate the security strength of the framework against possible attacks by adversaries. We also undertake a case study of deploying the proposed framework in a two-factor authentication setup that uses users' passwords and dynamic handwritten signatures. Our system preserves the important biometric information even when the user specific password is compromised -a highly desirable feature but not existent in the state-of-the-art transformation techniques. We have evaluated the performance of the framework on three publicly available signatures datasets. The results prove that the proposed framework does not undermine the discriminating features of genuine and forged signatures and the verification performance is comparable to that of the state-of-the-art benchmark results.
