Abstract

Fuzzy Vault is an interesting error tolerant method to encrypt data. This method has been widely used in the field of biometrics because of the unstable nature of captured biometric modalities. In this paper, we present main works on Fuzzy Vault when used to secure fingerprint templates. We describe the contributions proposed in different stages of the two Fuzzy Vault phases. The purpose of this work is to show the implementation to be chosen at each stage of a specific Fuzzy Vault application. To this end, in this paper, we conduct a comparative study of these works from a theoretical point of view, and according to some practical criteria.
