Abstract

The current technological age is demanding reliable and cost-effective personal authentication systems for a wide range of daily use applications such as access control, electronic commerce, ID verification... where security and confidentiality performance of the information is needed. Biometrics-based authentication techniques (e.g. face, iris, fingerprint recognition...) in conjunction with embedded systems technologies bring a challenging solution to this need. This paper describes the hardware-software co-design of a computational platform responsible for matching two fingerprint minutiae sets. A novel system concept is suggested by making use of reconfigurable architectures
