A Fingerprint Encryption Scheme Based on Irreversible Function and Secure Authentication

A fingerprint encryption scheme based on irreversible function has been designed in this paper. Since the fingerprint template includes almost the entire information of users’ fingerprints, the personal authentication can be determined only by the fingerprint features. This paper proposes an irrever...
