Abstract

Feature transformation is the most primary step in biometric template protection whose effectiveness is directly dependent upon the test and trained samples. The minutiae points are segregated to retrieve the attributes with the singular point data to enlarge the secure user template. The user fingerprint information could be revealed to produce the secured template with the help of the fingerprint image. An attempt of feature transformation is experimented in this paper by DNA based encoding methodology. The general formation of the proposed technique is constructed from the Biometric data to generate the feature extraction; the Z pattern generation is used for implementing the transformation and produced the DNA codec. The evaluation of each step in the proposed scheme is theoretically evaluated and experimented with. The revocability, diversity and the security parameters are analyzed and compared with the relevant methods using the images from FVC2004 dataset that the accuracy for biometric template is achieved through the enhanced recognition rate. The complexity and the performance of the proposed method proved challenging to the state of art techniques. Keywords Feature transformation . Biometric template . DNA based codec . Fingerprint .

1 Introduction Biometrics stamps as a reliable and effective choice to conventional authentication schemes which is a mixture of token-based security (identity cards) and knowledge-based security (passwords), since the later one is vulnerable to the guile of a fraud and usage of the same in large-scale applications cannot be dependable [6]. In the same way, numerous applications with highly challengeable and extensive exploitation of biometric systems also make the system to be more concerned about its security and privacy of biometric technology.

biometric system can attain the public acceptance only when the system assured to be robust and tamper proof [24]. A biometric template embodies the group of feature descriptors of biometric data of the concerned. Usually, the generation of template is considered to be irreversible because of its compactness and encrypted form. The compact property brings lacuna in the biometric system to incorporate the complete information of the original biometric. The encrypted form of the biometric also leaves the system difficult to decrypt and restore the original content [4]. On the other hand, many researches show the possibility of compromising the biometric template information. A masquerade attack was described [15] where the minutiae templa
