: Biometrics is a universally used automatic identification of persons, depending on their behavioural and biological quality. Biometric authentication plays a crucial role in the identity management system. Safety of biometric authentication systems needs to be addressed as there are still some points related to the integrity and public receiving of biometric systems. Feature extraction module of biometric authentication systems, during the season of enrolment scanned biometric information to extract the set of salient features. This set of unique feature is known as biometric template. This biometric template is helpful in distinguishing between different users. These templates are generally stored during the time of enrolment in a database indexed by the user's identity information. The biometric template protection is an important issue because the compromised template cannot be cancelled and reissued like a password or token. Template protection is a challenging task because of intra user variability present in the acquired biometric traits. This paper surveys about different existing approaches for designing a protection scheme for biometric templates with their strength and boundaries existing in the literature. Some prospect information in designing template protection schemes are also addressed in this paper.


Cloud is that the rising and thirst area of analysis and advantageous in all the fields. However security is the main disquiet for not espouse cloud for each application. Mainly of the security crisis are connected by authentication with data protection by the respect to cloud security alliance (CSA). The projected New (Biometric encoding and Biometric authentication) protocol can conquer every safety crisis in cloud adjacent. In NEW protocol biometric encryption has been provided for the cloud consumer’s valuable information and identity verification has been utilized in a unique way to scale back the problems associated with authentication and authorization. In NEW protocol Identity verification in cloud environment has been joint by pattern security in coincidence with four entirely dissimilar and influential encryption algorithms for accumulated safety. This protocol improves biometric template protection by the combination of RSA and AES encryption algorithms in proper locations and 3DES, Blowfish has been utilized in information security and solution safety supervision. By implementing such technique can vanish out the un trustiness of adopting cloud, specifically public and hybrid clouds. Since all the users information are hold on in off premise. Adopting this protocol has given nice results when examining with existing work and all the vulnerable places has been considered for improved security.

Fuzzy vault scheme (FVS) is one of the most popular biometric cryptosystems for biometric template protection. However, error correcting code (ECC) proposed in FVS is not appropriate to deal with real-valued biometric intraclass variances. In this paper, we propose a multidimensional fuzzy vault scheme (MDFVS) in which a general subspace error-tolerant mechanism is designed and embedded into FVS to handle intraclass variances. Palmprint is one of the most important biometrics; to protect palmprint templates; a palmprint based MDFVS implementation is also presented. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme not only can deal with intraclass variances effectively but also could maintain the accuracy and meanwhile enhance security.

The IT security paradigm evolves from secret-based to biometric identity-based. Biometric identification has gradually become more popular in recent years for handheld devices. Privacy-preserving is a key concern when biometrics is used in authentication systems in the present world today. Nowadays, the declaration of biometric traits has been imposed not only by the government but also by many private entities. There are no proper mechanisms and assurance that biometric traits will be kept safe by such entities. The encryption of biometric traits to avoid privacy attacks is a giant problem. Hence, state-of-the-art safety and security technological solutions must be devised to prevent the loss and misuse of such biometric traits. In this paper, we have identified different cancelable biometrics methods with the possible attacks on the biometric traits and directions on possible countermeasures in order to design a secure and privacy-preserving biometric authentication system. We also proposed a highly secure method for cancelable biometrics using a non-invertible function based on Discrete Cosine Transformation and Index of max hashing. We tested and evaluated the proposed novel method on a standard dataset and achieved good results.
