Abstract

Biometric authentication offers most reliable approach to person authentication. This authentication approach is based on the "what you are" security measure. However, biometric templates are vulnerable to different types of attacks and any data leakage cause privacy risks. Unlike passwords, stolen biometric data cannot be revoked or reissued hence biometric templates must be protected and any leakage of biometric information must be prevented. This paper surveys various biometric template protection schemes.
