Abstract :
The storage of fingerprints is an important issue as this biometric modality is more and more deployed for real applications. The a prori impossibility to revoke a biometric template (like a password) in case of theft, is a major concern for privacy reasons. We propose in this paper a new method to secure fingerprint minutiae templates by storing a bio code while keeping good recognition results. We show the efficiency of the method in comparison to some published methods for different scenarios.
