Abstract
A biometric system is a high-tech system that uses the data about the individual, already stored in the database to identify the individual. Biometric system is gaining popularity since it provides security and privacy to the data so that no one can misuse the data of the individual. But still, the system is not fully secure because the pattern can be recognized by the third party with the help of the remote application like antireply attacks or liveliness detection over the Internet to access the biometric data. This paper presents a survey of security and privacy issues on the biometric system and discusses the various case studies such as E-passport and Aadhaar identification, followed by the threats and issues. So, in this paper it is concluded that there must be some techniques or protocols that are based on the signal processing and the cryptography mechanism that would protect the biometric data from the intruders.
