Abstract

Biometric Cryptosystem (BCS) combines characteristics of both the fields: biometric and cryptosystem, where biometric provides authentication and cryptosystem imparts security. Any biometric system is prone to attacks/security threats and BCS is an attempt to enhance system security without compromising its performance. BCS is surrounded by the concept of key; whereby key needs to be secured along with biometric signals using particular technique. In this work, a survey of 150 such techniques is presented. Furthermore, a separate section is dedicated to analyze the performance of these techniques. BCS is prone to various attacks and this study covers 30 such attacks, its countermeasures to thwart these attacks. In order to simulate BCS, a list of generic/attack type databases is also provided covering various physiological and behavioral biometrics. A brief discussion is presented on challenges and recommendations in BCS. Finally, several research directions are provided for the researchers working in this fascinating area.
