Fingerprint recognition is one of the most well-known biometrics and the most widely utilized biometric option for computerized system authentication. The traditional secret key and token-based verification methods are gradually being phased out in favor of biometric solutions. The two most important aspects to consider when designing a biometric system are security and accuracy of recognition. In this work, a comprehensive assessment is presented to throw light on the most recent advances in the study of unique fingerprint-based biometrics from these two perspectives, with the objective of enhancing system security and recognition accuracy. Also, researchers suggest utilizing a normalized fingerprint model to combine fingerprints from various layouts. Constrictions of previous exploration work are highlighted, and ideas for future work are made, based on an in-depth investigation and discussion. According to the report, scientists continue to have issues dealing with the two most fundamental attacks on biometric systems, namely, attacks on the User Interface (UI) and attacks on format databases. Building genuine remedies to thwart these attacks, while ensuring strong security while maintaining high recognition precision, is a hot research topic right now, and will be in the near future. Furthermore, recognition accuracy in less-than-ideal circumstances is sure to be unsatisfactory, necessitating special attention in the design of a biometric system. This research also depicts related obstacles and patterns of momentum exploration.
