Non-Invertible cancellable fingerprint template for fingerprint biometric

Abstract Fingerprint biometric has emerged as a highly successful biometric recognition system and find its application in the diverse domain. The fingerprint template database needs to be protected from unauthorized access. If an adversary has acquired the unprotected fingerprint template, then he/she may reconstruct original fingerprint which can be used for unauthorized access of all the systems where the same fingerprint has been used. Hence, securing the fingerprint template is required. In this paper, a non-invertible cancellable fingerprint template based on information extracted from the Delaunay triangulation of minutiae points is proposed. For making the template cancellable a user-specific key of a random binary string is used. The proposed template is revocable, diverse, secure and also gives a good recognition accuracy. The proposed template is tested with a standard FVC2002 database and gives good results as compared with the latest methods.
