Background and Objective: The most important issue concerning the security of biometric authentication systems is protection of biometric templates. This is because once the biometric template being attacked, it cannot be canceled and reissued. Thus, the intruder could avail the facilities that are meant only for the genuine user just bypassing the enrollment phase. Methods: To protect the biometric templates from attacks, it is advantageous to modify them before storing in the databases through some cancelable and non-invertible transformations. Hence, an approach based on cancelable biometrics is proposed in this paper for providing security and privacy to biometric templates. It uses left iris and right iris as input biometric traits. Different experiments are carried out to authenticate the proposed approach. Results and Conclusion: It satisfies all template protection requirements and expected to show good recognition performance without degrading it.

The work purpose consists in the efficiency increase of automated system operation for industrial enterprise resource protection at the expense of the optimization of authentication method application, in particular, biometric one. To achieve the purpose it is necessary to solve the problem of efficient joint use of modern authentication methods, particularly, a static and dynamic biometric authentication. But biometric methods are most expensive from the point of view of their realization. In this connection, within the limits of the paper there is carried out the analysis of modern methods of biological authentication from the point of view of a special order of introduction and joint use. In the paper there is shown a classification of static and dynamic methods for biometric authentication, an example of method combination in the authentication module is presented, there are considered and analyzed the latest methods, in particular, those based on DNA investigations, thermograms of a face and hands (static), gestures (dynamic). The work novelty consists in the presented diagram of authentication module operation. As a conclusion it should be noted that modern authentication systems offer the application of a complex approach: use both biometric methods and other ones for authentication in modules, in particular, based on secret knowledge and material carrier possession. The approach mentioned will allow minimizing the errors of the first and the second kinds, increasing a general level of safety.
