Image Security and Biometrics: A Review

Imaging security and biometrics are two heavily connected areas. The quick evolution of biometrics has raised the need of securing biometric data. A majority of this data is visual, which has lead to intensive development of image security techniques for biometric applications. In this paper we give a fast fly over image security approaches and imaging-related biometrics. We present the current state-of-the-art of the interplay between both areas. The emphasis in this paper is the computational methods.
