Abstract

Biometrics based authentication increases robustness and security of a system, but at the same time biometric data of a user is subjected to various security and privacy issues. Biometric data is permanently associated to a user and cannot be revoked or changed unlike conventional PINs/passwords in case of thefts. Cancelable biometrics is a recent approach which aims to provide high security and privacy to biometric templates as well as imparting them with the ability to be canceled like passwords. The work proposes a novel cancelable biometric template protection algorithm based on Hadamard transform and friendly random projections using Achlioptas matrices followed by a one way modulus hashing. The approach is tested on face and palmprint biometric modalities. A thorough analysis is performed to study performance, non-invertibility, and distinctiveness of the proposed approach which reveals that the generated templates are non-invertible, easy to revoke, and also deliver good performance.
