Definition

“User data” stands for the private information of the biometric system user, for example, identity number, e-mail address, or any other significant or insignificant character string, which can be transformed into ASCII code in computer systems. Binding of biometric and user data is a method which aims to solve the issues of security and privacy involved with biometric system. As an important method of biometric encryption, binding of biometric and user data has two main functions: one is protecting the biometric template from attacks, where cancelable biometric templates can be generated, and the other is embedding user data into the biometric template, where user data will be reproduced if and only if biometric matching succeeds.

Introduction

As an identity authentication method, biometrics bases recognition on an intrinsic aspect of the human being, and the use of biometrics requires the person to be...
