ABSTRACT
International travel documents now regularly carry digital biometric data such as headshots and fingerprints. They are poised to support the largest biometric authentication infrastructure in the world. I'll discuss the trust assumptions around biometric authentication in ePassports (passports with integrated chips) and a border-crossing document in the United States known as the "Passport Card." I'll also describe the problem of template disclosure in biometric databases, and how it defines a research frontier between cryptography and signal processing.

Information fusion in biometrics
Special issue: Audio- and video-based biometric person authentication (AVBPA 2001)User verification systems that use a single biometric indicator often have to contend with noisy sensor data, restricted degrees of freedom, non-universality of the biometric trait and unacceptable error rates. Attempting to improve the performance of ...
Biometrics Information Protection Using Fuzzy Vault Scheme
SITIS '12: Proceedings of the 2012 Eighth International Conference on Signal Image Technology and Internet Based SystemsBiometric based authentication can provide strong security for identifying the users. In addition, the security of biometric data is important, because most biometric data is not changeable in a lifetime. However, cancellable biometrics can stores a non-...
Soft biometrics-combining body weight and fat measurements with fingerprint biometrics
The aim of this study was to examine whether using soft biometrics, i.e. easily measurable personal characteristics, such as weight and fat percentage, can improve the performance of biometrics in verification type applications. Fusing fingerprint ...
