Template Security Analysis of Multimodal Biometric Frameworks based on Fingerprint & amp; Hand Geometry

Publication date: Available online 5 July 2016 Source:Perspectives in Science Author(s): Arvind Selwal, Sunil Kumar Gupta, Surender, Anubhuti Biometric systems are automatic tools used to provide authentication during various applications of modern computing. In this work, three different design frameworks for multimodal biometric systems based on Fingerprint and Hand Geometry modalities are proposed. An analysis is also presented to diagnose various types of template security issues in the proposed system. Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) is applied with five decision parameters on all the designs and framework-1 is found to be better in terms of template data security, templates fusion and computational efficiency. It is noticed that template data security before storage in database is a challenging task. An important observation is that a template may be secured at feature fusion level and an indexing technique may be used to improve the size of secured templates.
