A BIMODAL BIOMETRIC BANK VAULT ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM

The bank vault system has security as its most important aim. Banks could go bankrupt if the vault’s security system becomes compromised. In this paper, the use of bimodal biometrics (fingerprint and iris) is proposed as a means of ensuring the full integrity of the bank’s vault system, thus, further reducing the rate of compromise and theft within the bank’s vault system. A scanner captures the fingerprint and the iris of authorized users. The images of the fingerprint and iris captured by the scanner are segmented, normalized and made into templates that are stored in a database along with the particulars of the users. The accuracy of the system is measured in terms of sample acquisition error and recognition performance using False Accept Rate (FAR), False Identification Rate (FIR) and False Reject Rate (FRR). The result shows that the proposed system is very effective

An integrated framework combining Bio-Hashed minutiae template and PKCS15 compliant card for a better secure management of fingerprint cancelable templates

International audienceWe address in this paper the problem of privacy in fingerprint biometric systems. Today, cancelable techniques have been proposed to deal with this issue. Ideally, such transforms are one-way. However, even if they are with provable security, they remain vulnerable when the user-specific key that achieves cancelability property is stolen. The prominence of the cancelable template confidentiality to maintain the irreversibility property was also demonstrated for many proposed constructions. To prevent possible coming attacks, it becomes important to securely manage this key as well as the transformed template in order to avoid them being leaked simultaneously and thus compromised. To better manage the user credentials of cancelable constructs, we propose a new solution combining a trusted architecture and a cancelable fingerprint template. Therefore, a Bio-Hashed minutiae template based on a chip matching algorithm is proposed. A pkcs15 compliant cancelable biometric system for fingerprint privacy preserving is implemented on a smartcard. This closed system satisfies the safe management of the sensitive templates. The proposed solution is proved to be well resistant to different attacks
